Our Impact on Advancing Public Health
Supporting the Public Health Case for Water Security
Living without access to clean water has significant health impacts including a higher risk of waterborne disease, Type II diabetes, physical injury, and acute mental stress. Water access, affordability, and quality have long been top issues in the state of Michigan — where Altarum was founded — as well as nationwide. Yet, despite the demand and need for action following a crisis like the one in Flint, Michigan, which resulted in elevated blood lead levels for approximately a quarter of the community’s children, it can be difficult for policymakers to know where to target intervention and prevention programs. This is where Altarum has a role to play.
