Make A Difference Minute: Dr. Leigh Wilson

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Dr. Leigh Wilson, Medical Director of the NYC Health + Hospitals World Trade Center Health Program Clinical Center of Excellence, as we recognize 25 years since the September 11th attacks.

Dr. Wilson explains how exposure to dust, debris and other substances in the New York City disaster area has been connected to respiratory illnesses, digestive conditions and certain cancers—and why people who were there may still be affected today.

If you or someone you know lived, worked, attended school or childcare, or spent time in the New York City disaster area during or after September 11, 2001, learn more at CDC.gov/WTC.
