Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha is Director, Pediatric Residency Program at Hurley Medical Center, Assistant Professor Pediatrics and Human Development, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.

One year ago, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha held a press conference announcing the results of her research which indicated that a number of Flint children had elevated blood-lead levels which had nearly doubled since water began to be drawn from the Flint river. Since then this pediatrician has devoted much of her practice to the evaluation of the impact of this lead exposure. Interventions will include maternal and infant support, improved pre-school and school health services as well as nutrition services. She will identify and discuss the problems that these children face and suggest some solutions to address these problems. Pre-registration highly recommended.
