Whistleblower Pediatrician Discusses the Legacy of Flint, Michigan's Water Crisis

Michigan public officials' decision to change Flint's water supply in 2014 created widespread lead contamination in the city's drinking water. Pediatrician Mona Hanna-Attisha, MD, MPH, revealed the tainted water's effects on the city's children during an unusual press conference in 2015. Although it took 7 years, a grand jury handed down indictments against 9 public officials, including Governor Rick Snyder, for their roles in the crisis. JAMA Medical News Associate Managing Editor Jennifer Abbasi recently caught up with Hanna-Attisha to discuss the health of Flint's children, the future of its water supply, and other pressing public health issues.
