Congratulation to Lois Hall, Executive Director for the Ohio Public Health Association, for being acknowledged by Research America as a public health hero. "Hall and the Ohio Public Health Association participated in a study that identified the link between children and the effect from the common pain reliever aspirin, a disease now known as Reye's Syndrome. This research discovery has had an enormous impact on lives saved and the prevention of serious health complications in children, the major medical costs saved, and the supporting evidence for the Food and Drug Administration to include warning labels which are still present today about the health effects from administering the drug to children".
