Request Daycare Lead Testing

Launched in May of 2024, our mobile units are now directly supporting childcare providers who want to offer lead testing to the families of children at their site. Children under the age of 6 are most vulnerable to the lifelong, hazardous impacts of lead exposure and testing is the only way to know for sure whether a child is being exposed to lead.

If you are a childcare operator and would like to have one of our mobile teams come to your site to conduct testing, please take a moment and fill out the form linked below.

If you have questions about lead testing before you fill out the request, feel free to reach out to Kari Horsley at 317-233-1296 or Khorsley@health.in.gov.

Homebound Hoosier Vaccination Clinic

The specific goal of the Homebound Hoosier vaccination project is to administer COVID-19, Tdap, Pneumonia, and (when available) Flu vaccines to at-risk, hard to reach, or otherwise immobile or homebound individuals at no out-of-pocket cost to the recipient.
No government issued ID or insurance is required, though insurance will be billed if available. Anyone under age 18 must have a parent or guardian with them to give consent.
Please fill out the form below to request vaccination.
