How You Can Help

While our services at the Wisconsin Poison Center are free to the public, the expertise required to handle poison emergencies comes at a significant cost. Adequate funding is essential to ensure we can continue providing critical support to health care facilities, providers, and Wisconsin residents.

Studies have shown that consultation with poison centers helps avoid unnecessary emergency room visits and other health care services. In fact, data from the 2011 Lewin Report indicates that, for every dollar invested in the Wisconsin Poison Center, we save the health care system roughly $13.39 in medical costs and productivity. Your support enables us to maintain these vital services and continue our work in preventing harm and reducing medical expenses.

Donate online by selecting a specific amount and specifying your gift designation by selecting “Other,” and typing “Wisconsin Poison Center” in the text box. (Note: you will be leaving the Wisconsin Poison Center website to donate).

Thank you for your support.
