Reghan,

Would it be possible to also get Green and Walworth county GIS maps? We

just sent out a mailing to our FPs and Pediatricians with the Rock Countyand City of Janesville maps. The maps were a real visual learningexperience for our head Pediatrician and interestingly, I spoke with hisnurse today about something else and she wanted to reassure me that

they arenow doing lead testing at 12 and 24 month HealthCheck/Well Child visits.

Sothe visual is a real WOW to nonbelievers!

Thanks again!Sue Backes, RN, BS Case Management Coordinator MercyCare Insurance Company
