NIOSH oversees programs to monitor, screen, treat, and support responders who who may have been affected physically or mentally by their service at the 9/11 disaster sites in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, VA, and the Shanksville crash site in Shanksville, PA. Until now, responders in New York have been covered by the Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program, which did not include the emergency responders, and the recovery and cleanup workers and volunteers who were directly involved in the Pentagon and Shanksville sites. All three groups are now covered by the World Trade Center Health Program.
