• Description:
  The New York State Occupational Health Clinic Network (NYS OHCN) was the first partially publicly funded, statewide, public health-based network offering clinical and preventive occupational disease services in the United States. It was established to address the need for specialized regional occupational health centers open to all state residents for the diagnosis and treatment of occupational disease. The Network was established in 1987 with six regionally based clinics; it has since increased to ten regionally based clinics, with one additional specialty clinic for agriculture. The clinics reside in a variety of institutional settings, including state and private medical schools, a healthcare insurer, and a local consortium of unions. The Oversight Committee was created by Section 2490 of the Public Health Law (PHL). The Committee was charged with making recommendations to the governor and legislature regarding the NYS OHCN. This report represents the findings of the Oversight Committee. Specific comments and recommendations (in bold) from the Committee are provided below. [Description provided by NIOSH]
