About Us
FCHEC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
Corporation
formed to foster and
promote a greater understanding
and public awareness of the health
effects of living near and/or having
been employed at the former
Department of Energy (DOE)
uranium processing plant at
Fernald, Ohio in Crosby Township,
Hamilton County.  
We believe that improving health education in the community will lead to a
better understanding of potential health risks associated with exposures from
the site.  This better understanding can improve preventative health strategies,
target medical screenings and support individual decisions regarding lifestyle
and health care.
