Summary
Nearly 7,000 New Jersey residents who survived 9/11 are still receiving free medical care for cancer and lung disease — part of a national program that’s helped over 140,000 Americans since the tragedy. Run through Rutgers, the World Trade Center Health Program covers everything from PTSD to respiratory illness, with zero out-of-pocket costs, and is still enrolling new participants as health issues linked to Ground Zero can take decades to appear. Recent data shows participants live longer, healthier lives thanks to consistent screenings and community support — and hundreds of thousands more remain eligible as the program expands coverage and research.
