Free Miners Clinic Scheduled for January 7^th & 8^th

Current and retired miners, including persons who have ever worked with uranium, are invited to take part in a free and confidential medical screening clinic for mining-related illnesses in conjunction with Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo on Jan. 7 and 8. The clinics are provided by National Jewish Health, the nation’s #1 respiratory hospital since 1998. The screenings will help identify retired miners and uranium workers who may qualify for benefits through the federal government. Each screening includes a health questionnaire, physical exam, breathing test, and chest x-ray. Clinic staff also provides health and benefits counseling. Results letters are sent to participants and their primary physicians to assure follow up of any abnormalities identified.

This clinic will also include the Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program (RESEP) which helps people harmed by atmospheric nuclear weapons testing and employment in the uranium industry from 1941-1972.
