The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program provides medical monitoring and treatment for responders at the WTC and related sites in New York City, Pentagon, and Shank
Members of the WTC Health Program share a common experience—they were present during the days and months following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. From that common experience members have their own unique story. Some worked long hours during the rescue, recovery, and clean- up efforts. Others returned to their homes, businesses, and schools in lower Manhattan. Today many of them confront 9/11-related health issues such as asthma, GERD, post-traumatic stress, even cancer.
The WTC Health Program is dedicated to helping those who were there in the days and months following September 11th. We determine eligibility for the Program based on what members did following 9/11, where they were, and how long they there. There are four categories of members.
Members of the WTC Health Center Health Program have important health needs and powerful stories of hope and healing. Visit our Program Videos page to see members share their stories of where they were and how they’ve been helped through the WTC Health Program.
