LowerWC.com has many visitors from governmental agencies such as NASA, the TSA, the Department of Labor, the National Park Service, the U.S. Postal Service, the Department of the Interior, the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines. These visits are from military installations around the world, not just U.S.-based operations. Doctors Hutchinson and Leffingwell have done work for the CDC and Dept of Labor/Employment.
Leslie J. Hutchinson, M.D., MPH, FACOEM, and Sanford S. Leffingwell, MD, MPH, FACOEM, are among a number of physicians nationwide working with the Department of Labor's Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Program (EEOICP). Congress concluded several years ago that former workers at U.S. federal nuclear facilities were suffering the effects of exposure to toxic substances, but were having difficulty obtaining compensation for their illnesses through existing channels.
Doctors Hutchinson and Leffingwell are also ongoing medical consultants for the U.S. Public Health Service, Region IV, Federal Occupational Health (FOH). For FOH, they evaluate, diagnose, and recommend preventive and treatment strategies for a wide spectrum of diseases and injuries that arise in federal workplaces. They have served as experts on chemical and biological weapons effects for the U.S. Army's Army Materiel Command (AMC) and Chemical Material Agency (CMA). In that role, they have evaluated workers who have had possible or actual chemical or biological weapons agent exposures.
