Surgeon General's Call to Action to Promote Healthy Homes June 9, 2009 News Release.
Our families face significant health threats in the place we usually think of as safest, our homes. But how does someone know what poses a potential health risk around the home and what doesn't? Our program's goal is to help families learn about the risks they face at home and how to reduce them. Parents and others can find out more about the dangers of things like lead-based paint, pesticides, and drinking water.

Use this web page to link to your state's healthy homes program, find information on healthy home topics, and identify resources you can use to protect family health.
