As an extension of our weekly "This Week in Westchester - The Podcast" we welcome you to Westchester, Explained. This is the first in a special long-form series where we'll take you deeper into the headlines, decisions and policies shaping Westchester County and their impact on your family, your neighborhood and your future. Here we will slow it down, dig in and bring in the people doing the work, and we'll explain not just what the County is doing, but why it matters.

Because government should be clear. This is your County. 

And this is Westchester, Explained. 

Today we're focusing on something critical to the health and safety of our communities: lead poisoning prevention and remediation. 

Joining for our premiere Westchester, Explained conversation are two leaders from the Westchester County Department of Health, Leslie E. Liberatore MSN, FNP-BC, Health Services Coordinator for the Immunization Action and Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs, and Christopher Ericson, Deputy Commissioner of Environmental Health -- who will discuss the launch of Westchester County's lead registry program, helpful tips to keep your family safe and to explain what you need to know as a Westchester resident about lead and why it matters. 

Let's dive in.

HOSTED BY: 

Catherine Cioffi, Westchester County Communications Director
