How former DOE workers can get free medical screenings

The Former Worker Medical Screening Program (FWP) offers ongoing free medical screening examinations to all former DOE Federal, contractor, and subcontractor workers who may be at risk for occupational diseases.

These free screenings can help secure your White Card so make sure you take advantage of this program.

The FWP uses independent occupational health experts from universities, labor unions, and commercial organizations to administer the medical screening program. To ensure objective and credible medical examinations, the exams are offered by third-party providers. Screenings are provided at clinics in communities near DOE sites, as well as through a large network of health clinics nationwide to allow for services to be provided in close proximity to most workers’ residences.

The FWP directly benefits former DOE workers by:

• Identifying signs or symptoms of work-related health conditions at an early more treatable stage
• Improving workers’ understanding of health risks they may face due to potential exposures during their employment with DOE

How the FWP works

The FWP is divided into two main occupational categories:

• Production Workers
• Construction Workers

There are four designated Regional Projects located near major DOE sites, as well as two Nationwide Projects.

Based on your occupation and site location listed below, please contact the appropriate project to set up your screening.
