Subject: HRSA Announcement: New National Poison Prevention Week Planner

Poisonings are second only to motor vehicle crashes as a leading cause
of unintentional injury death; first for 35 to 54 years olds.  

As part of National Poison Prevention Week (March 15-21), HRSA's Poison
Prevention Program is launching a new National Poison Prevention Week
Planner with ideas for events and activities, fact sheets about
poisonings, information about how to partner with your local poison
center, and planning tips to promote your events with media and
community outreach.

We encourage you to download the planner at
www.poisonhelp.hrsa.gov/resourcesppw.htm and to partner with your local
poison center to commemorate this important week and help raise
awareness of poison prevention in your community.
