This critical health resource needs YOUR HELP.  We are NOT a government agency.  We rely on grants and your generous tax-deductible donations to keep our phone lines open for free, expert help in poison emergencies.

Each call about a poisoning costs the Poison Center nearly $50...but can SAVE A LIFE and thousands of dollars.

Your poison center is cost effective, safely treating about 72% of callers at home and saving the region's residents over $18 million in medical expenses each year.

About half of the poisoning emergencies involve small children. The Center also helps teens, adults, and seniors with drug interactions, suicide attempts, medication errors, substance abuse, chemical spills, and occupational exposures.  Pet owners call too, when the dog, cat or bird has been poisoned.  Highly trained, certified toxicology specialists provide expert treatment and guidance immediately. 

Make a donation NOW so this service will be available for everyone who needs poison help.
