Let Dr. Wells Drink from the Same Well
“We want all of our public health efforts aimed at the full community of Flint and that we will do all our work to educate and to provide as many resources as possible to protect the health of children and adults in Flint.” Dr. Eden Wells, chief medical executive MDHHS.”
Eden V. Wells, MD, MPH, FACPM, was appointed as the Chief Medical Executive for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in May 2015, and serves Michigan citizens by providing professional medical leadership, expertise and coordination in addressing public health issues, workforce issues, and health policy development to the MDHHS.
Michigan’s medical examiner believes that the 18 percent increase in in children’s blood levels in specific Flint zip codes is not a causal link to the Cities recent switch from Detroit water to Flint River water.
According to Dr. Eden Wells, chief medical executive MDHHS- She cited other possible causes of elevated blood lead levels in children, like lead paint and soil. She does admit however “No matter what the source of lead, all of it should be prevented. There is no safe level of lead.”
Dr. Wells and everyone involved in making the decision to stick with the “safe” Flint River, should have to drink from the same river while the rest of Flint is doing the same.
Dr. Eden Wells, chief medical executive MDHHS, as the chair of the new conditions for the Medical Marihuana Program panel, was one of two no votes, against four in favor of approving autism as a condition by which cannabis can be recommended.
