Medical Exam

The Former Worker Medical Screening Program at Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories offers initial and re-examinations and testing to former workers who participated in the program in the past and who were examined for possible health effects related to past exposures to asbestos. Former workers are asked to complete a questionnaire to better understand their prior work exposures and their medical history.

DOE National Supplemental Screening Program (NSSP)

Former nuclear facilities workers who do not live near a medical screening site, or who worked for a facility that does not have an established Former Worker Program, are referred to the National Supplemental Screening Program (NSSP) for their examination and testing. Former LANL and SN-AL workers who participate via the National Supplemental Screening Program complete an exposure and medical history questionnaire from the Medical Exam Program for former workers at LANL and SNL-AL. We advise the NSSP of the recommended testing that should be conducted based on the exposure and medical history interview. The former worker is then contacted by the NSSP, and a medical screening examination is scheduled at a participating clinic closest to the former worker’s current address. The NSSP reviews the examination and testing results, and a results letter is sent to the former worker and (with the former worker's consent) to the medical exam program for former workers at LANL and SNL-AL. The test results will then be included in our medical results database.

If you are interested in participating in the program, please call 1-877-500-8615 (toll-free) or 505-753-0193 (local).
