The ultimate and desired endpoint of “vision” and “value” is to have a positive “impact.” This thought-provoking session is all about using experiences, tools, input, and expertise to forge new pathways toward a greater impact on OEHS.
The World Trade Center (WTC) Medical Monitoring Program provides free, periodic, standardized medical assessments; mental health assessments; clinical referrals; benefits counseling; and occupational general health education to patients who were involved in the rescue and recovery effort at Ground Zero. As director of the Data and Coordination Center, Dr. Herbert is leading the analysis of data from more than 19,000 patient examinations, and she continues to work with city, state, and federal officials, labor unions, employers and others to ensure that WTC responders are able to receive long-term evaluation and care.
Dr. Herbert will share the lessons learned in diagnosing and treating the WTC responders and the broader implications for ensuring the occupational health of emergency response workers in the future.
