World Trade Center Response

National Responder Program:

On May 31, 2008, CDC contracted with Logistics Health, Inc. (LHI) to manage the WTC National Responder Health Program to monitor and treat responders outside of the NYC-NJ metropolitan area. These responders were previously served by Mt. Sinai, the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics, and Federal Occupational Health Services. LHI is working with each of these organizations to transition the responders into the new structure. During this transition period, one goal of the National Program is to ensure that responders who have been receiving treatment are having their care continued without interruption.

If you were not or are not working for the FDNY and live outside the NYC vicinity, you should call LHI at 877-498-2911.

One part of the process for transferring into the National Program involves you requesting your prior medical records be sent to LHI. You can download, sign, and submit the appropriate form from the list below to expedite the transfer process.
