Hi Nancy and Karen,
One of our nurses working in Lead Case Management came to us concerned that you
might not know the roles of Genesee County staff in the case management realm. If
you have questions regarding budget or contract issues, that should be brought to
myself or Jori. If you have questions regarding clients that would go to Sherry, Kim or
Jan. If there are concerns about implementation process please discuss with Jori. |
hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
Toni

lL agree with Toni - the case management contract with GCHD will be based on
actual elevated levels (e.g. Priority 1), and CM will do outreach to those
kids. They will not be offering CM to children who don't have a test showing an
elevated level (e.g. Priority 2 and 3).

However, if kids from Priority level 2 or 3 DO have an elevated level, that would
bump them up into Priority 1.

At ane point, we mentioned doing a lead fair at the farmer's rnarket, but Toni followed up and the farmer's market folks were not
interested | think secondary to some recent water-related pratests, fights, etc (the market is below our clinic}.
We will dadly sae patients at cur clinic, but ave just fer blood work, we try to be theiy medical home.

Click on FLINT WORKGROUP
Click on Draft 2 documents - and look for the specitic folder,
Jennifer Eisner from our Communications office is copied on this ernail, and is reviewing
the materials now for approval.

{think that we are being responsive and we need to work hard to educate ail concerned. There are clinics that are an
option as well as the medical horne. This is a knee jerk reaction.
Yes, and Nick doesn't disagree, but getting out there and testing may be the need to deal with high levels of compaunity
strass----did you ever get to talk to Tawwab? He didi not respond te mry cail--—-
interesting.
Go these people understand that the half-life of lead in blood is only 1-2 months? What is the purpose of having these
kids testing ~ normal levels may be falsely reassuring and it’s highly unlikely that we will pick ug many ESLLS in this
school age population.
There are aise issinss of consents, release of info to PMDs, follow-up, ete.
But peaole want something done, and they want something done fast. People are understandably mad. fini just not sure
if this is the best option, but there may be no choice.
Importance: High
Folks,
Got off the phone with our Director. He is pushing to have on-site lead testing at schools, particularly the 3, in addition
to getting primary care providers involved. Pushing to have that done SOUN, Imagine sending horne permission slips on
a Monday and attesting on a Thursday. Could get mass volunteers to help. His words!
fwill need to get on the phone with a few politicians early this afternoon bout this as well. | will get back to you all.
My edits on provider letter.
Couple comments:
e §6ofHd CDC recommend that we screen all kids up to Syrs? Should this be dene annually now?
e §=6inthe letter ft says, that if the level is fess than S, we should recheck in 3-6 months? Not sure we
need to de that??

Hi all ~ draft letters for Providers and for Parents in Flint are posted in our Sharepoint folder called Flint
Workgroup. We put them in both Word and pdf formats, to assure you can open them. They are rough
drafts, so nlease do add/suggest language where there are clacenolders.
Appreciate if you can review and make comments/suggest edits. To find the letters:
On the dark ilue navigation bar, click on Workgroups & Toolkits

| agree--- with caveat's CDC jsut provided---we can't do much but to ensure that they are not drinking the
water (and ingesting any other sources of lead).
FYI, that was the FASTEST response | have ever gotten out of CDC!!!
Great article, In box 1, lead in water is a risk factor and “blood lead testing should be performed Ifa single risk factor is
identified at the earliest contact.” So | would take this at first contact with OB, blood lead should be done and education
on nutrition and vitamins, ete.
Gur QB's don't know this, This need to be shared.
Let me check with our ATSDR doc, Mark Johnson (Boy there are a lot of Marks...)---because | wonder if the
concerns for Flint beg the question. However, | have no idea what the medical removal for lead is for a
pregnant women, is that chelation, and is it the same as a child? Anyway, | will follow up with him now.
| dort think anyone knows to test pregnant women.
Should we develop a separate communication to O8’s?
As @ secondary research project, we will be tested maternal lead at delivery and cord blood lead. But the above sounds
fike tt should be a recomraended screening???
Any lead test and level gets sent into the CLPP, from my understanding. Nancy, have you seen any uptick in
pregnant women being tested out of Flint?
