PFAS-REACH
1. Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families?
PFAS-REACH (Research, Education and Action for Community Health) is conducting a children’s health study to learn more about potential effects of a class of water contaminants called PFAS. Parents of young children in and around Hyannis may be eligible to take part in our study. This study will improve our understanding of the health risks associated with exposure to PFAS chemicals in children and may inform the development of drinking water guidelines that protect children’s health, on Cape Cod and beyond. Our study will also develop resources to support communities that have had PFAS contamination in their drinking water. Elevated levels of PFAS were found in Hyannis water prior to July 2016. And we are also reaching out to residents throughout Cape Cod to share information about ways we can all reduce our exposures to PFAS chemicals, which are also common in consumer products. PFAS-REACH is a 5-year research project funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The project is led by Silent Spring Institute in collaboration with Northeastern University, Michigan State University, Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition, Testing for Pease, and Toxics Action Center. 2. Where is it located? Our PFAS-REACH children’s health study includes children in and around Hyannis, as well as in Portsmouth, NH. Our project partners are located on Cape Cod as well as in the Boston area, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Michigan. 3. What is your favorite thing about our community? Cape Cod is very family oriented, and there are many resources available to help families get the support they need. The Cape community is full of dedicated individuals who are committed to improving the lives of all families across the Cape. 4. How else do you get involved with the community? We are now enrolling families of preschool aged children to take part in our Children’s Health Study. We will continue to attend community events and connect with parent resource networks throughout the year. 5. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? We’ve heard from many community members that housing is the biggest issue facing families on the Cape. 6. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? We have loved meeting members of the early learning community and the healthcare community who have been so supportive of our Children’s Health Study over the past year. We are so grateful to everyone who has provided guidance and offered to help spread the word about our study – it’s truly a team effort. 7. What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? We encourage parents and guardians with preschool age children in the Hyannis area to learn about our Children’s Health Study to see if their children are eligible to take part in the study. And we encourage everyone to learn about PFAS chemicals and tips to reduce their family’s exposure to these chemicals through simple changes in daily habits and switching out certain products containing these chemicals.

Silent Spring Institute
1. Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families?
Silent Spring Institute is a mission-driven scientific research organization dedicated to uncovering the environmental causes of breast cancer. Our independent research is empowering a revolution in environmental health to prevent cancers by reducing people’s exposure to harmful chemicals where they live, work and play. We believe everyone has a right to clean air, clean water, and safer products and that no one should get sick from toxic chemicals. We are creating new knowledge about cancer-causing chemicals—how we are exposed and how they affect our health. Our work is strengthening policies to protect consumers from toxics while making prevention a national research priority. Together with our sister organization Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition, we work to update Cape Cod residents on our water quality and public health research findings. 2. Where is it located? Silent Spring Institute’s main office is located in Newton, MA, but our Cape Coordinator is based in Barnstable, and members of our research team are often on the Cape for field sampling and to attend community events. 3. What is your favorite thing about our community? We are so inspired by the dedication of Cape residents to protecting water quality and preserving the beautiful natural resources that make Cape Cod so special. 4. How else do you get involved with the community? We are a resource for all Cape residents and often give presentations to community organizations and attend community events to share our research findings about water quality and ways of reducing your exposure to toxic chemicals. 5. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? We have heard from families and family support providers that housing costs and availability are a great challenge facing parents in our community. 6. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? We’re grateful to all the Cape residents who have taken part in our research studies over the years by sharing information about their health and welcoming our research team into their homes to collect samples of house dust, drinking water, and even their septic systems. Our research wouldn’t be possible without the support of so many people here on Cape Cod. 7. What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? Get educated! Consumer products that we use every day can contain toxic chemicals, such as BPA (and other bisphenols) in can liners and plastic bottles, parabens and harmful fragrance chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products, and PFAS chemicals in food packaging materials, Teflon pans, and stain-resistant and waterproof clothing. Our free mobile app, Detox Me, provides practical tips for how to keep you and your family safe from harmful chemicals in everyday consumer products. Download our app on the Apple app store or Google Play for free to learn more! 8. Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about? We host an annual community event every fall to share updates about Silent Spring Institute’s research at the Barnstable Town Hall with Cape residents. And stay tuned for other updates about STEEP, PFAS-REACH, and our other water and health research on Cape Cod.

STEEP STEEP at 2019 Parent Fair
Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families?
STEEP is a partnership of the University of Rhode Island, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Silent Spring Institute to study a class of chemicals called PFAS. PFAS are part of our everyday lives – they are added to nonstick, stain-resistant, and waterproof consumer products such as carpets and upholstery, waterproof clothing, cookware, food packaging, and even some dental floss. PFAS chemicals have been found in public water supplies across the U.S., including in Hyannis and Mashpee. In addition to studying PFAS in private wells on Cape Cod, STEEP is sharing resources with the community about PFAS and ways to reduce exposure. Where is it located? STEEP is led by the University of Rhode Island (Kingston, RI) in collaboration with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Boston, MA) and Silent Spring Institute (Newton, MA). Our community partners include Sierra Club Cape Cod Group and Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition. What is your favorite thing about our community? We are deeply appreciative of the partnerships we have developed with the many Cape residents who have volunteered for our private well study. Our participants have been incredibly generous with their time, welcoming us into their homes to collect samples and sharing invaluable local knowledge to help our study team better understand sources of PFAS in Cape groundwater. We’re so inspired by Cape residents working to protect water quality and preserve the Cape’s beautiful natural environment. How else do you get involved with the community? STEEP’s private well study is testing 250 private wells on Cape Cod and sharing results with members of the community and local officials. Additionally, STEEP researchers organize and attend community events to share research-based tips on reducing exposure to PFAS and new findings in our ongoing studies of PFAS on Cape Cod. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? Many Cape Cod residents rely on septic systems to treat their wastewater, but septic systems are the largest source of nitrate pollution into groundwater on the Cape. Prior studies of wells on Cape Cod have shown that wells with higher levels of nitrate are also more likely to contain contaminants of emerging concern, such as pharmaceuticals and consumer product chemicals. While public drinking water systems are required to test and treat water, private wells are not and can be more locally impacted by nearby septic systems. It is important for private well owners to get their well tested at least once per year and to track levels of common contaminants over time. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? At our most recent STEEP Science Day event, we invited local high school students to hear from STEEP researchers about careers in science and water quality in their communities. The students were deeply engaged and asked thoughtful questions of our research team. We loved having the opportunity to share our work with the next generation of future scientists! What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? PFAS chemicals are found in a wide variety of consumer products (think nonstick, stain resistant, waterproof, and greaseproof items) and sometimes in drinking water. We can all take steps to reduce our PFAS exposure, lower our chemical footprint, and protect Cape Cod drinking water. Visit the STEEP website (web.uri.edu/steep) to find research-based tips to help reduce your family’s exposure to PFAS. Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about? STEEP holds an annual Science Day event on Cape Cod where community members can hear from STEEP researchers about PFAS in the environment and health effects.

Community Health Center of Cape Cod
1. Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families?
The mission of Community Health Center of Cape Cod is to improve the health of our community through the provision of comprehensive, high-quality, compassionate health care to all, regardless of ability to pay. The Health Center provides care to more than 17,000 individuals within a "complete medical home" model, where integrated health services are provided under one roof. This complete medical home model includes primary care, behavioral health care, dental care, women's health services, optometry, addiction recovery services, on-site affordable prescriptions, x-ray and ultrasound services, case management services, barrier assessments and assistance, Veterans care, and many other specialized programs for individuals and families. 2. Where is it located? The Health Center has four locations: Mashpee (107 Commercial Street), Falmouth (210 Jones Road, in Homeport), Bourne (123 Waterhouse Road) and Centerville (1185B Falmouth Road). 3. What is your favorite thing about our community? One of my favorite things about our community is just that: community. I come from a bigger city where most people kept to themselves and were sometimes overly self-focused. The Cape community, when it comes to business life and personal/family life, seems to be more friendly and collaborative and I like that about where we live. And you can’t beat the beauty and the beaches. 4. How else do you get involved with the community? The Health Center is very active in our community and is always looking to identify ways to work together with like-minded organizations and to get the word out. We participate in a number of events like this throughout the year to try to inform the community about our services, programs and locations. We also engage in wellness and outreach activities to help families and individuals gain the resources they need to lead healthier lives. Our team of staff and volunteers are always looking for additional ways to engage with the community about health-related issues and how to address them. Personally, I am a Board Member for Philanthropy Partners of the Cape and Islands, a basketball and tee-ball coach for Brewster Recreation and a Junior Achievement volunteer with Falmouth VIPS. 5. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? There are a number: affordability of housing, availability of child-care, access to health care and balancing work-life and home-life responsibilities. One way that Community Health Center of Cape Cod does address these issues is by providing comprehensive care services to anyone who needs care, and by providing support in the health insurance enrollment process at each of our offices. 6. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? I have one that seems to occur on a relative frequent basis. It is often at events like these, or out in the community, when I tell people that I work at Community Health Center of Cape Cod. Some people have not heard of the organization, which means I am at the right place and talking to the right person so they can become informed. But for those people who have heard of us, almost all of the responses are overwhelmingly positive. They speak so highly about the care teams they see, and their experience at the Health Center. It makes me proud to be part of a team that is doing so much good in the community. 7. What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? There are resources out there which cover so many different issues and topics, so don’t be afraid to us them. There is a wealth of information at local libraries, chambers of commerce, health care facilities and more. Being a parent can often-times be difficult and stressful, but there are people and organizations around that can make the process easier. 8. Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about? Community Health Center of Cape Cod is always accepting new patients, so if you are looking for any type of health care services, you are welcome to visit any of our offices, or our website at www.chcofcapecod.org. We also offer walk-in care in our Mashpee (Monday-Saturday) and Centerville (Monday-Thursday) offices, for anyone who needs it, regardless of if they are a Health Center patient. So if you or your children wake up and don’t feel great, you can stop by either of those offices for a visit. We will also be hosting an inaugural 5K fun run/walk on the evening of Tuesday, May 19. If anyone would like more information about this event, or any of the services and offerings at Community Health Center of Cape Cod, you can call Chris Ellis at (508) 477-5990.
