Radiation Exposure Screening & Education: Clinics

Comment: Do we really need jobs or a business that leads to this: Radiation Exposure Screening & Education: Clinics?

HRSA funds clinics in five of the 12 most-affected States: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah. (Virginia in the near future?)

All clinics provide radiation exposure-related services to eligible individuals in the five exposure categories: downwinders, onsite participants, uranium miners, millers and ore transporters

(see Am I Eligible?).

However, some adapt their services to meet the needs of the people in the area they serve.

Some clinics offer services at satellite locations. Please phone the location listed here for clinic locations and to schedule an appointment.
