Why Testing Matters
Testing sets a baseline for your health.
Getting tested makes you the best advocate for yourself.
Did you use water from the 29th & Grove area?
Groundwater contamination was found in the 29th & Grove area of northeast Wichita.
Chemicals called TCE and PCE were found in the groundwater.
People who lived, worked, or spent time in the 29th & Grove neighborhood may have come into contact with these chemicals without knowing it.
Free health testing can help you better understand your health and what to do next.
Testing helps:
