Nuclear Care Partners, which provides free in-home care to former atomic workers who have developed illnesses due to exposure to radiation and toxic chemicals, said this week it remains committed to patient care despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
âTo continue this needed in-home care, our care teams are taking extra safety precautions and have been equipped with the necessary critical supplies to lessen the risk of transmission and keep our patients as safe as possible,â said Laura Welsh, local community outreach manager.
Nuclear Care Partners serves former workers at Lawrence Berkeley, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia national laboratories, many of whom face various lung diseases and cancer as a result of their workplace exposure.
