A Grand Junction-based firm providing health care services to uranium and nuclear weapons production workers has honored a Colorado congressman.

Nuclear Care Partners presented its inaugural National Congressional Award for Atomic Heroes to U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter for his support of former workers at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant near Denver.

“Rep. Perlmutter has been a true champion for former atomic workers, driving efforts on several fronts to preserve their benefits, protect their access to quality care and ensure that their needs are met through programs the way Congress intended,”  said Jenna Noem, co-founder and chief executive officer of Nuclear Care Partners.

Nuclear Care Partners provides in-home health services under federal laws providing benefits to those who’ve developed illnesses from exposure to radiation and chemicals. For more information, call (888) 525-5111 or visit www.NuclearCarePartners.com.
