      World Trade Center Health Program
      The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program provides medical monitoring and treatment of WTC-related health conditions for 9/11 responders and survivors.
      The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program is a program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Administrator of the WTC Health Program, for purposes of Program administration, is the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), an institute within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The WTC Health Program provides medical monitoring and treatment to enrolled responders and survivors of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in NYC, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon in Virginia.
      Today, the WTC Health Program serves over 126,000 members who reside in all 50 states and territories and nearly every congressional district. The Program contracts with numerous Clinical Centers of Excellence (CCEs) in the New York metropolitan area as well as with the Nationwide Provider Network (NPN) for members living elsewhere across the country. Through the CCEs and the NPN, members receive standardized medical monitoring, cancer screening, benefits counseling, and treatment for their certified physical and mental WTC-related health conditions. The WTC Health Program also funds the WTC Health Registry and a robust portfolio of research, using a research-to-care integrative framework.

              This poster was part of an ad campaign that ran in NYC subways and buses to publicize the treatment available to survivors for their 9/11-related mental and physical health conditions at the World Trade Center Environmental Health Center (WTC EHC) within the NYC Health + Hospitals system. WTC EHC is now a Clinical Center of Excellence for survivors within the World Trade Center Health Program.
