| The Beyond Ground Zero Network, of which NMASS is a member, is
announcing the expansion of the groundbreaking 9/11Health Initiative
in collaboration with Bellevue Hospital. This Health Initiative is
unlike any other health project after 9/11. Through community outreach,
comprehensive patient support and monitoring, screening and testing
it will continue to provide immediate treatment and study to address
the healthcare needs of low-income residents and workers in the Lower
East Side and Chinatown--the forgotten victims of 9/11. The increasing
cases of respiratory, mental health and other health problems after
9/11 have resulted in a mounting health crisis in Lower Manhattan.
The government has still not provided any resources for this important
health program. The Health Initiative, which is solely funded through
private sources, is the first to respond to the worsening health conditions
of working people after 9/11. We continue to call upon government
at all levels to join in this effort to address these health problems
and support this effort.
If you or your family or friends continue to have health problems
after 9/11 contact the NMASS Lower East Side Workers Center: 212-358-0295
