Upcoming Public Program: "20 Years Since 9/11 – Confronting the Challenges of Recovery"
As we approach the milestone 20th anniversary of 9/11, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s Winter/Spring 2021 public program season will explore a range of topics reflecting on the ongoing impacts and continued resonance of the attacks, their historical context, and their aftermath. Please join us on Wednesday, May 26, at 2 p.m. ET, for "20 Years Since 9/11 – Confronting the Challenges of Recovery." 
To mark the Museum’s annual commemoration of the end of the nine-month rescue and recovery period at Ground Zero, NYPD Chief Terri Tobin, Baptist minister Reverend Bill Minson, Vicki Arbitrio of the Structural Engineers Association of New York (SEAoNY), and Dr. Benjamin Luft from Stony Brook’s WTC Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program share their personal recollections of 9/11 and its aftermath, and discuss the devastating health issues affecting the rescue and recovery community nearly 20 years after the attacks.
Visit 911memorial.org/watch to attend this live, online event. Those watching will have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A. Live captioning will be provided.

In some ways, Sal Puglisi’s journey to becoming a high school educator began on September 11, 2001. At the time, Puglisi was an emergency medical technician with New York Weill Cornell, and he responded to the World Trade Center with his colleagues. They provided triage support and helped transport injured people to nearby hospitals.
