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. “We will never forget the sacrifices first responders made on that day and the survivors who continue to endure the physical and emotional trauma. This funding is essential to fulfilling our obligation to the individuals who require medical care and ensuring the program remains solvent for years to come,” Pallone said. “We can never fully repay the debt of gratitude we owe to responders and survivors, but we can make sure they have access to the medical care they rightfully deserve.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:14:16Z |
