The World Trade Center Environmental Health Center (WTC EHC) is a Clinical Center of Excellence that is part of the federal World Trade Center Health Program established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010. The WTC EHC assesses and treats WTC-related physical and mental health conditions of residents, students, workers, or passersby who may still be sick from 9/11 (known as “Survivors” in the federal World Trade Center Health Program).
The WTC EHC has cared for more than 10,000 people at its three locations at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue on the East Side of Manhattan, NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst in Queens, and NYC Health + Hospitals/Gouverneur in Lower Manhattan and works in partnership with community and labor organizations and residents affected by 9/11.
