The World Trade Center Health Program, Clinical Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai

The World Trade Center Health Program offers annual monitoring, and treatment, including medication, at no cost, to eligible WTC workers and volunteers, for both physical and mental health conditions related to their WTC service.

The Mount Sinai WTC staff and affiliated specialists have been providing care to thousands of WTC responders since shortly after the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

We continue to see newly enrolled patients on a regular basis. Monitoring and treatment is available at both Mount Sinai’s main campus in Manhattan, and at our WTC clinic located on Staten Island.

Services are available in English, Spanish, and Polish.

Services are available from other institutions throughout the NY/NJ Metropolitan area, as well as nationwide through the WTC Health Program. For more information regarding eligibility, other Clinical Centers of Excellence, or to enroll for the very first time, call the WTC-HP hotline at 1-888-982-4748. If you are already enrolled and have an inquiry, or wish to make your next appointment, please call 1-888-702-0630.
