It's an honor to work alongside heroes every day at Northwell Health. As we commemorate the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, the story of Scott Strauss’ heroic work comes to mind. Scott, VP of Security and Support Systems, is a retired detective from the NYPD Emergency Service Unit. On that tragic day 23 years ago, he helped rescue Port Authority Police Sgt. John McLoughlin and Officer Will Jimeno, who were trapped beneath 30 feet of rubble. “We don’t regret one moment of work on the rescue and in those piles,” Scott reflects. “It has brought us to today and we consider it a privilege to carry the memories of those who were lost, and those memories we’ve been able to create with our families ever since.” Today, Scott and many other first responders face health challenges stemming from their selfless work at Ground Zero. We're incredibly proud to care for him, the first responders, residents, and volunteers affected by 9/11-related health issues through our World Trade Center Health Program, led by Jacqueline Moline, MD, MSc. Scott and Eddie Reyes, Program Manager for Northwell Health Emergency Management, talked about their rescue experience on this podcast episode: https://bit.ly/3hoRrxd Learn more about Northwell’s WTC Program: https://bit.ly/38YgzWS
