PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL MEETING
CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS
May 29, 1986
Dr. Stanley Ferguson, Director of the Colorado Department of Health, Disease
Control and Epidemiology Division, will be speaking to the community regarding
Craniosynostosis, a prevalent birth defect in our area, on:
THURSDAY, MAY 29
7:00 P.M.
AVON TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS
The purpose of Dr. Ferguson's visit is to inform everyone of the Craniosynostosis
research efforts which have been made, and the planned efforts for the future.
WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO ATTEND FOR SEVERAL REASONS:
1. A lot of misinformation is floating around concerning this birth defect.
During this public meeting we will discuss what is really known, where more
information is available, and who parents should contact if they believe
their child may have this problem.
2. A recent amendment to the State Budget appropriated $50,000 for the State
Health Department to hire an additional epidemiologist. This community
needs to encourage the State Health Department to dedicate this
epidemiologist to the research of Craniosynostosis. The best way to do this
is to show the State Health Department and our legislators the entire
community is concerned. Congressmen from Eagle, Summit, Routt,'Garfield and
Chaffee Counties have been invited to attend.
PLEASE, PLEASE COME TO THIS PUBLIC MEETING
AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO ATTEND AS WELL.
For More Information, Please Call: 476-7480
