The World Trade Center Health Program offers treatment nationwide for a long list 9/11-related conditions. Care is provided at no cost to 9/11 responders and survivors, and responders can take part is yearly health screenings even if they are not sick. It seems like a good deal, but where exactly do you need to go for appointments and screenings?
Because the World Trade Center Health Program operates nationwide, people living everywhere in America are able to access the services it provides. For those outside the NYC area, this means participating in the Nationwide Provider Network, which links you to providers in your area. For those living closer to New York, however, there are specific medical centers the program operates out of.
