The Worker Health Protection Program (WHPP) provides free medical screening for former and current workers* at fourteen Department of Energy (DOE) sites across the country.
The goal of WHPP is to provide medical
screening to detect work-related illnesses at an early stage when
medical intervention may be helpful. In addition, it helps workers
determine if a current health condition is the result of a work-related
exposure. For the first time, former and current workers at DOE sites
have the opportunity to obtain an independent, objective assessment
of their health in relation to their prior workplace exposures
by a physician with expertise in occupational medicine.
The program is funded by a contract from the DOE and is led by Queens College of the City University of New York in partnership with the United Steelworkers (USW), Atomic Trades and Labor Council (ATLC), and the former Fernald Atomic Trades and Labor Council (FATLC).
