Here's how we help you....FREE!

We save lives and reduce illness from poisonings.
Quick action could save a life.  About half of poisoning emergencies involve small children, but we also provide immediate life-saving information for suicide attempts, medication errors, chemical spills, occupational exposures, product misuse, drug interactions and pet poisonings.

We reduce your health care costs.
About 72% of Poison Center callers are treated at home...safely.  That saves the region's residents over $18 million/year in unnecessary health care costs.
 

We prevent poisonings.
Reported poisonings are monitored for new or unusually dangerous hazards.  When we identify a problem, we urge manufacturers and government regulators to change the formulation, improve the closure or even ban the product.
