The Northwest Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (NW PEHSU), a UW program that provides free children’s environmental health services, is seeking volunteer nurses with an active Washington state license to help provide blood lead testing for at-risk children at community events.
Volunteers will perform capillary blood lead testing and provide education on lead poisoning prevention. Training will be provided by the NW PEHSU team, and volunteers will receive a $200 stipend per event for their time.
Events will take place on select Saturdays at locations in central and south Seattle. Volunteer spots are limited.
