Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention National Training Center (HHLPPTC)

The CDC-funded Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Training Center (HHLPPTC) supports CDC’s partners in state and local programs by training new program personnel in practical strategies to build programs, develop strategic coalitions, improve care coordination, and support housing-based primary prevention.

The Center is offering two free 3-1/2 day trainings in 2017:
