Congratulations to Lauren Gonzalez of Corpus Christi, who took 3rd Place for the Older Division in the National Poison Prevention Week Poster Contest!
The National Poison Prevention Week Council has announced the winners of its annual poster contest. The Council's 3rd Place for the Older Division's winning poster was created by Lauren Gonzalez of Corpus Christi, Texas. Lauren's poster creatively illustrates the message to prevent poisonings around the home. The National Poison Prevention Week Council, in conjunction with the American Association of Poison Control Centers, sponsors the poster contest each year as part of a year-round effort to educate communities about ways to prevent accidental poisonings in the home. Lauren's poster was selected from thousands of entries that were submitted to the 61 poison centers across the country. The contest is open to two groups, children ages 8 and under and children ages 9-13.
