Do you have family or friends that grew up near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation?
Were they born between 1940 and 1951?

If you do, you know someone that may have been exposed to radioactive I-131. You can help by sharing important information about exposure with them. Please encourage your friends and loved ones to learn more so that they can work with their health care providers to make informed health care choices.


How can you help your friends and family?

  • Ask them to join the HCHP mailing list. People who join the mailing list receive an information packet and periodic HCHP updates. They can join the mailing list by calling toll-free 1-800-207-3996.
  • Send them an e-card. Click here to download an electronic postcard. Download the file and include it as an attachment to those you are e-mailing about the Hanford Community Health Project. Additionally you can also print the e-card and mail it to anyone that it may benefit. The e-card will explain how they can access educational resources about exposure to I-131.
