Responder Health Programs:
NIOSH works to oversee programs that have been established to monitor, screen, treat and support responders and volunteers who responded to the disaster site at the World Trade Center in New York City and who may have been affected by their service.
If you are not yet enrolled in the program, you may find out whether you are eligible by doing the following:
- If you were not or are not working for the FDNY, you should call 888-702-0630 or click on http://www.wtcexams.org/contactus.html to obtain the fax number and mailing address for sending in a completed eligibility form, which can be accessed by clicking on http://www.wtcexams.org/forms.html. When you call the toll-free number, an operator will ask you questions about when and where you worked at ground zero and what kind of work you did. After you are determined to be eligible, you will be provided information about the network of clinics from which you would choose one to make an appointment for an examination.
Currently there are three programs funded to assist individuals who meet the eligibility requirements. For links to these programs, please see below.
