This program is conducted by Queens College of the City University of New York, through a partnership with the University of Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV).  Free of charge, eligible former workers are provided detailed occupational health screenings and may return for re-screen examinations every three years.  This program also offers low-dose CT scans for early lung cancer detection, on an annual basis, to a subset of workers who have an elevated risk of lung cancer as a result of a combination of occupational exposures, age, health history and tobacco use.
