Board of Supervisors
Contra Costa County
Martinez, California
We have heard through the media that the Poison Control Center in
San Francisco was going to "cut off" calls to Contra Costa County
effective August 1, 1993 due to a lack of adequate compensation
from our county.
Furthermore, they are recommending that patients call 911 if they
have problems with poison needs.
Therefore, the Department of Pediatrics at Mt. Diablo Medical
Center by unanimous consent urges that immediate arrangements be
made to allow for uninterrupted access to Poison Control.
Sincerely,
�
