WTC Environmental Health Center
The World Trade Center (WTC) Environmental Health Center is a Center of Excellence dedicated to assessing and treating 9/11-related conditions.
Health Issues Due to 9/11
We provide healthcare to anyone who may still be sick from the events of 9/11, with no out-of-pocket costs. We work in partnership with community organizations and residents affected by 9/11. You can get treatment even if you cannot pay or do not have health insurance.
It may be hard to know if your health problems are due to 9/11. If you have persistent symptoms including difficulty breathing, skin problems or anxiety and nervousness, make an appointment for an evaluation. We provide a thorough assessment and then plan an appropriate course of treatment for you.
