The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program provides medical monitoring and treatment for responders involved with the 9/11 tragedy.
The World Trade Center Health Program provides medical monitoring and treatment for eligible rescue, recovery, and clean-up workers who responded to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, PA., as outlined by the James Zadroga Health and Compensation Act of 2010. The WTC Health Program also provides services for survivors who were present in the dust cloud on 9/11 or who lived, worked, or went to school, childcare or adult day care in the New York City disaster area.
There are eight Clinical Centers of Excellence (CCE) in New York City (Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island), Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties), and New Jersey, all of which provide care to 9/11 responders. Each CCE is administered by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as a part of the World Trade Center Health Program.
Rutgers Biomedical Health Sciences (RBHS) was awarded a contract by the Centers for Disease Control/National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health to provide monitoring exams and treatment to the responders of the WTC attack. WTC CCE Rutgers is housed within the EOHSI Clinical Center at RBHS.
If you have selected us as your preferred CCE, you can expect to receive your annual monitoring exam at our facilities. If it has been more than one year since your last monitoring exam, contact us at (848) 445-0123 ext. 3 to schedule your first appointment.
