This is a short clip from the video of the December 2, 2009 honoring of Stephen M. Levin, MD with the international Collegium Ramazzini’s prestigious Irving J. Selikoff Memorial Award in New York.
The New York State Occupational Health Clinic Network (OHCN) is the nation's only state-based occupational health clinic network and is located throughout the State, including a clinic specializing in farm worker health and safety. The network offers specialized medical diagnoses, high-quality care and support services. Each year, thousands of workers in New York get sick or are injured on the job. The OHCN assists New Yorkers by helping them to return to work quickly and safety and by preventing disease and injuries. The New York State Occupational Health Clinic Network (NYS OHCN) was the first partially publicly funded, statewide, public health-based network offering clinical and preventive occupational disease services in the United States. It was established to address the need for specialized regional occupational health centers open to all state residents for the diagnosis and treatment of occupational disease. The Network was established in 1987 with six regionally based clinics; it has since increased to ten regionally based clinics, with one additional specialty clinic for agriculture. The clinics reside in a variety of institutional settings, including state and private medical schools, a healthcare insurer, and a local consortium of unions.
