Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Ruling of NYC Chief Medical Examiner on the Death of Felicia Dunn-Jones

Washington, DC - "This ruling is an important step toward acknowledging and coming to terms with the devastating and growing health impact of 9/11. Felicia Dunn-Jones was one of thousands who became sick as a direct result of their exposure to the toxic fumes and dust around Ground Zero on 9/11 or in the days, weeks and months that followed. Her heartbreaking and untimely death only underscores the mounting challenge we face to help those whose health was affected by 9/11. We cannot rest until we can provide healthcare and medical monitoring to all of those who need it. We owe it to them and their families to make good on this solemn obligation."
