Hi All,
Hope this early summertime finds you all well and wonderful!
I would like to introduce my friend Deirdre she has been working to help our efforts, she is a Physicians Assistant and works at a clinic in Folsom CA. She is compiling a list of all clusters dating back to Love Canal-she gathered some good information on the Wikapedia web site. Paul and I were talking yesterday and he recalled about 4 months ago on the cluster advocate site there was a list can you give us the date it. The clusters we are including are not just termed "bona fide" from the agency perspective we are also gathering data on all anomalies where health concerns have been raised. I don't know of a database in existence but that is not saying there is not one. I figured when you have a question take it to the expert! The question is there such a compilation of cluster  that any of you know of? If so could you contact Deirdre via email with any and all information regarding the anomalies that you know of including your own. I have attached the beginning template and would really appreciate any input on other important aspects you all feel would be useful to add to the list. Deirdre's email address is deirdrebodenhamer@sbcglobal.net
On another note; I just had a trip to DC where I participated in The Healthier America Summit it had an incredible group of participants who I was able to network with. I also met Boxer, Feinstein and Reids offices. Then I participated in a pre-scheduled meeting with Trust for America's Health and with Clinton's staff re: health tracking. I had recently put together a brochure when I gave it to her aid I was explaining the urgent need to respond to disease clusters in communities she said" Great! there is such a need for your organization and we will help in any way we can!"Â
Â
I have also been working with Charlie Smith which Floyd had connected us and we are getting together mid next month to discuss doing hearings in DC on childhood cancer clusters and clusters in general. She has a good relationship with Boxer's office. More info to come on this as it develops and would love to have you all participate if your interested :)

Take good care and have a great summer!
Peace Blessings,
Dee
