2. Toledo among 4 U.S. communities chosen for pediatric chronic disease pilot program (toledoblade.com subscription) — Families in Sylvania will be directly included in a new federal pediatric health pilot, as the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department targets one Sylvania census tract for chronic disease prevention work.
