The program is based out of the Airborne Hazards and Burn Pits Center of Excellence (AHBPCE) at the New Jersey War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (NJ WRIISC), but has several sites
around the country. Baltimore is one of those sites. The program includes in-person or telemedicine-based assessments to evaluate Veterans’ respiratory conditions, cardiopulmonary function
and exposure concerns. The NJ WRIISC has collaborated with multiple Veterans Affairs Hospitals to offer this clinical evaluation to Veterans with specific health concerns who completed the
Registry across the United States. The PDCEN is composed of VA physicians with expertise in pulmonary and occupational medicine. The goal of the Network is to better identify the
relationship between airborne hazards and burn pit exposures and longer-term health outcomes, to identify research to improve understanding of health concerns and, to identify possible
treatments to improve care. PDCEN-Baltimore works collaboratively with the other PDCEN sites to develop new clinical guidelines to care for Veterans who have been exposed to airborne hazards
and burn pits. ------------------------- BALTIMORE VA MEDICAL CENTER Hours: 7:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. ------------------------- ELIGIBILITY FOR PROGRAM PDCEN-Baltimore sees Veterans who live
