Even though there is only one number to call to
reach a poison center, there are 61 Poison Centers across the country handling
these calls. On this page, we highlight a local poison center's efforts
to increase access to poison center services, develop innovative partnerships,
or just get the word out about preventing poisoning in their community.
This page will be updated periodically to spotlight other poison centers,
so be sure to check back occasionally to see if a new program is being showcased.
The
California Poison Control System (CPCS)
won the 2007 International Award of Excellence (IN-AWE) from the Medical
Marketing Association and the Coalition for Healthcare Communicators for
its outstanding consumer marketing campaign, "Don't Guess. Be Sure"
The In-Awe Award is the most prestigious award for marketing and communications
in the area of health care. The "Don't Guess. Be Sure" poison
prevention campaign was funded through a grant from the Health Resources
and Services Administration.
