The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program is dedicated to helping those who were there during and after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The Program provides medical monitoring and treatment of WTC-related health conditions for 9/11 responders and survivors.
The WTC Health Program is a limited federal health program administered by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is authorized through 2090. The program provides no-cost medical monitoring and treatment for certified WTC-related health conditions to those directly affected by the 9/11 attacks in New York, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania for certain amounts of time during the period between September 11, 2001, and July 31, 2002.
