Most kids with lead exposure look completely healthy.

That’s why testing matters. A simple blood test at ages 1 and 2 can check for lead poisoning.

We share a lot with our mom friends. Add lead poisoning prevention to the chat because some parenting tips are too important not to share.

Your brain does a lot for you—so let’s take care of it!

From using 20% of your body’s energy to processing visuals faster than text, the brain is a powerful (and surprisingly fatty!) organ.
Understanding how the brain works helps us spot when something isn’t working quite right—like early signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

The more we know, the better we can support brain health at every age. Oklahoma.gov/health/ohbi
