Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. On Saturday, July 30th, the Appalachian Citizens Law Center will be hosting a Black Lung Screening Event at Pike Central High School. Mountain Top spoke to the program director and organizer of the event to understand the impact of Black Lung and why they are taking initiative to help those affected by the disease in our area. What we're doing is we're trying to gather in co-miners, retired, disabled, inactive co-miners that may think that they have Black Lung or they think maybe they've already been awarded Black Lung benefits and just trying to gather them in one place to see how we can assist them with anything that's going on with their disability. We're going to have legal questions to be answered. We're going to have, of course, if they want to sign it for benefits or re-sign it for benefits, we'll have people there to do that. We're going to have medical people there if they have questions about medical. It's just going to be kind of a one-stop shop if they want to come in there and just talk to anybody. We'll have somebody there for any questions they have. You know, at the end of the day, these are individuals that went to work just like I do every day, just like Crystal, just like you do. They went to work and came home with a disease that now prevents them from getting to do and enjoy their retirement years. Or it made them retire early. And so I think it's really important to remember the fact that, you know, we want to get them the care that they need, but also to just be able to ensure that they're taken care of and getting the health care that they need is the ultimate thing, because we know how important and how needed health care is, especially for those with black lung.
