Our First Responder Services
Screening and diagnostic tests play a vital role in the early detection of cancer and other diseases in first responders. The nature of the work of first responders, including firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians, puts them at a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer and other diseases. In particular, firefighters are exposed to toxic gases, chemicals, and smoke regularly during their work, leading to an increased risk of developing cancer and heart disease. Police officers may be exposed to dangerous chemicals and biological hazards while investigating crime scenes or handling evidence, while emergency medical technicians may face infectious diseases and other hazards while providing life-saving care.
Unfortunately, the first responders community is also plagued by other health issues such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, smoking, alcohol use, and stress, which can compound the risk of cancer and other diseases. It is essential to address these health issues proactively to reduce the risk of developing cancer and other diseases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) have found that cancer is a significant health issue for first responders. In fact, cancer is responsible for approximately 61% of deaths among U.S. firefighters. Furthermore, first responders have a higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer compared to the general population. It is important to prioritize the health and well-being of these professionals by providing comprehensive screening and diagnostic tests, as well as addressing potential health risks and mental health concerns.
