Women Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program (WIC) - Lead Testing

What We Do

The Macomb County WIC offices provide optional, in-house blood lead screening to eligible WIC enrolled children.  This screening is not a requirement for WIC program benefits and is offered by trained Community Health Technicians.  There is no fee for this service. This is a screening test, and does not diagnosis a child with lead poisoning.  Levels at or above 5mcg/dl are referred to public health nurse for follow up.  Doctors can access test results through Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR).

Who We Serve

Lead testing is offered to eligible children in a WIC clinic, during a scheduled appointment, with one of our registered dietitians. Trained Community Health Technicians provide the Lead Screening.  

How We Impact

This optional, free test offers families a chance to have their child screened for lead outside of an appointment with their personal doctor.  Results are uploaded to MCIR for healthcare providers to review if desired.
