World Trade Center Health Program

So 9-11 Healthwatch was formed in 2012 to monitor the programs that were created under the James Zedrogra 9-11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010.

Specifically those programs, and you probably have heard of them, the World Trade Center Health Program and the September 11th Victims' Compensation Fund.

That's where we're getting this data from.

And their mission was to ensure that 9-11 responders, survivors, and their families receive proper long-term care.

Because you need organizations outside of the system who are not there to serve themselves, but are advocating for a greater good to push and to advocate.

So 9-11 Health Watch was formed in 2012, and they were specifically created as a watchdog to monitor the programs created under the James Zedroga, I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, 9-11 Health and Compensation Act.

Specifically, the two programs were the World Trade Center Health Program and the September 11th Victims' Compensation Fund.

This is how we have all this data about what has happened since 9-11 in that area in Ground Zero, where the World Trade Center is.

Union leaders pointing out 453 firefighters have died from 9-11 related illnesses in addition to the 343 firefighters killed on 9-11.

The World Trade Center Health Program in recent years covering some of those illnesses.

I

am extremely frustrated in the uphill battle we have all faced in proving something they knew the entire time.
