Free Miner Health Screenings
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will offer free, confidential health screenings to local coal miners. The screenings are intended to provide early detection to coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), also known as black lung - a serious but preventable occupational lung disease caused by breathing respirable coal mine dust. All coal miners (current, former, underground, surface and contract) are welcome.
Clinics will be held in various locations, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., including:
September 1 – Brickyard Shopping Plaza (124 Kents Ridge Road, Richlands, VA)
September 2 – Big Rock Community Center (1054 School House Road, Big Rock, VA)
September 3 – Hurley Black Lung Clinic (10279 Hurley Road, Hurley, VA)
