This six year assessment of FDNYrescue workers provides in-depthinformation about the health effects

of 9/11 on our members, active and retired.The book is based on the work done atFDNY Bureau of Health Services duringthe years September 2001 through 2007. Itcontains information from the FDNY- BHSWTC Medical Monitoring and TreatmentProgram of our members, both Fire andEMS. Information from Pensions is alsoprovided to show medical disability pat-terns over the years pre- and post 9/11. Thisinformation helps answer the question:How are we doing?" For each member thatquestion may be answered differently. Butthe book provides insight into how we aredoing as a whole. It will help our membersand the public understand some of thehealth effects on our FDNY rescue work-ers.

The book has gone to press with publi-cation expected within the next few weeks.Every member of our department willreceive a copy of this book. The book willalso be distributed to our retired members.It is hoped that it will serve as a usefulguide and resource for you. This book hasbeen a joint labor management initiative. Itis a reflection of the concerns about thehealth and well-being of our first respon-ders. On 9/11 and in the days that followed,no other group experienced the degree ofexposures to this site, working at the deep-est levels in rescue and recovery. The med-ical monitoring and treatment program thatFDNY BHS initiated was an acknowledge-ment of that exposure. The information youhave provided has allowed us to design aneffective, state-of-the-art monitoring andtreatment program for you. This is just onesmall part of what the City of New York

owes to you, our firefighters and emer-gency medical personnel. Thank you foryour dedication and selflessness.
