Eliminating Lead, Protecting Kids: Cook County’s Childcare Initiative

Cook County is tackling a major public health concern with Lead Care Cook County, a program providing free lead service line replacement for childcare providers in suburban areas.

Beyond replacing lines, the program restores properties to their original condition and conducts follow-up water testing to ensure lead levels are reduced to non-detectable levels.

Carolyn Pakenham of Elevate highlights the program’s commitment to safeguarding children and ensuring their environments are safe and lead-free.
