We have used THE Program in a few ways since moving to Trail. When we first moved here we had a 10 month old child and living near the smelter made me nervous. My fears were put to rest when the family health nurse came to my house and went over the steps I could take to ensure my family stayed healthy.

…it turns out that lead testing is very quick and well done. I won’t be as worried for re-checks. And the ‘presents’ afterwards help.

We have been tested every 6 months since moving to the area. The staff are welcoming, understanding and make the process as fast and painless as possible. My daughter barely minds the poke!

THEP is an invaluable resource to our community. As a parent, it is reassuring to know there is an organization set up with one central goal, to help make Trail a safe and healthy community to raise a family. I recommend all families in Trail including newly relocated and long-term residents to get involved, or at the very least, be aware of the tremendous support and information that THEP can provide.
