World Trade Center Health Program

On September 11, 2001, Nadia was a 20-year-old college student attending NYU. She was exposed to dangerous hazards and debris due to the 9/11 tragedy and got diagnosed with breast cancer several years later. Just like Nadia, many children, teenagers and students who were present during these events now face life-long health issues directly related to their 9/11 exposure. Watch Nadia's story.

The WTC Health Program provides no-cost, 9/11-related healthcare to those who were there, including children, teenagers, and students at the time.

Member Stories - WTC Health Program Stories from WTC Health Program members and outreach videos to raise awareness about Young Adult members and members who were children or enutero and were exposed to the dust cloud on 9/11.

On this National 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance, we honor the cherished memory of those who died, those who survived, and the many who bravely responded to these tragic events twenty-four years ago. We remain humbled and honored to serve the thousands of individuals who continue to face health conditions from 9/11 with strength and resilience.
