The Michigan Public Health Code (Act 368 of 1978) requires the Ingham County Health Department (ICHD)
to conduct vision and hearing screening services to children residing in its area at no cost. Hearing and Vision
Technicians, trained by the Michigan Department of Community Health, provide screenings in area schools
and preschools throughout Ingham County.   

Children are screened in different grades, in order to identify children whose hearing or vision may be impacted
by a loss.  Those children who fail the screening will be referred for follow up care by another medical provider. 

For more information, please contact Lisa Chambers, Vision and Hearing Screening Coordinator, at
