FDNY Firefighters Call for Long-term Care Funding Amid 9/11 Healthcare Needs
FDNY Firefighters Advocate for Healthcare Funding
As the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 approaches, FDNY firefighters are making **what they hope will be their final plea** to Congress for long-term healthcare funding for first responders suffering from related illnesses. The emotional toll and physical toll of their service continue to impact countless lives.
Need for Long-term Care
- Many first responders have developed serious health conditions due to exposure at Ground Zero.
- Healthcare funding is critical for ongoing treatment and support.
- First responders deserve access to comprehensive health services as they recover.
This long-term care funding will not only provide necessary health resources but also acknowledge the sacrifices made by those who risked their lives.
