Dr. Schaffer is a nationally-known expert on lead poisoning. He heads the Rochester office of the Western New York Lead Poisoning Resource Center, which coordinates treatment for children with significant lead poisoning and works closely with county health departments, clinicians, community groups and others in our area to help identify children with lead poisoning. The office also educates the public about this preventable condition, aids clinicians in the medical management of children with elevated blood lead levels, and assists families who are forced to deal with the adverse effects of lead poisoning. 

Reminder: Lead Free Kids NY
Virtual Advocacy Day

Tuesday, March 15th 9:30am-4pm 
 
Our partners at Lead Free Kids NY, a statewide coalition working to end childhood lead exposure, are hosting a virtual lobby day to contact our state representatives and urge them to support legislation that focuses on preventing lead poisoning for the children of our state.
 
New York State has the most children with lead poisoning and some of the oldest housing stock in the country, much of which has lead paint that is the source of lead poisoning for many children in our area. Join us in advocating for New York State to lead the nation in lead poisoning prevention. Register below for this virtual advocacy day with state elected officials tomorrow.
