I have attached preliminary
findings of the medical health screening program conducted by Mt.
Sinai for WTC respondees. It shows that a significant percentage
of officers and others responding to the WTC have suffered WTC-related
pulmonary symptoms, ears, nose and throat disorders and mental health
symptoms.
We again urge all members who responded to the scene of the WTC
or to the Staten Island Landfill to undergo a medical screening.
Mt. Sinai is one program that offers the benefits of screening at
no cost to our members. Members interested may phone 1-888-702-2630.
Fraternally,
Patrick J. Lynch
President
