Earlier this year, the military opened the Red Hill Clinic to provide treatment to those facing long-term health effects from the November 2021 jet fuel water crisis. It has seen about 130 patients since it opened in January, and about 75 have been referred to specialty care, as reported by the Defense Health Agency. HPR's Sabrina Bodon has more.
The Defense Health Agency Region Indo-Pacific clinic started serving military members and their families in January to address long-term health effects related to the Red Hill fuel spill. Civilians on the Navy's water system from November 2021 to March 2022 are now eligible for the same care as of Monday.
The Defense Health Agency announced Monday that it will begin evaluating and potentially providing medical treatment to civilians affected by the Red Hill water crisis from now until March 10 on a “space available” basis.
