On Thursday, April 25 the Flint Registry was in five locations throughout the city signing people up.
Modeled after other public health registries like the World Trade Center Disaster Registry, the Flint Registry is a place for people to voice their health concerns and to make sure they are connected to services that reduce the impact of the water crisis on their health.
[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”11″ gal_title=”Recovery Day”]The Flint Registry is for anyone who was exposed to the Flint water system because they worked, lived, went to school, or daycare in Flint from April 25, 2015 – October 15, 2015, including children who were prenatally exposed. The Flint Registry is for all ages.
“The Flint Registry is a step forward in addressing the needs of people who were affected by the water crisis,” said Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, associate professor of pediatrics at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and director of MSU-Hurley Children’s Hospital Pediatric Public Health Initiative. “Like the logo of the Flint Registry, the Sankofa bird, our collective and community-driven work is all about striving towards a brighter tomorrow, while acknowledging the past, and most importantly, prioritizing our Flint children and generations of children to come.”
