November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Let's take action against this leading cause of cancer death. Did you know exposure to 9/11 dust and debris increases the risk of lung cancer? Early detection is critical! If you're a 9/11 survivor or responder, visit a doctor familiar with WTC-related health conditions. #LungCancerAwareness #WTCHealthProgram #FightCancer

The 2024 Power Players in PR & Lobbying are guiding every client down a path of great success in New York’s public and private sectors. Congratulations to our Power Player, Vito Pitta! Acknowledged by @PoliticsNYNews and @AMNewYork for his diligence and leadership. "As a second-generation lawyer and lobbyist, I did not come to this career or industry by chance or without a fair amount of pre-existing knowledge. Even with that background, however, I continue to be amazed by how misinformation and political bias can influence and result in bad policy." Pitta is focused on continuing to serve existing and new clients—striving for justice and the more universal good! #POWERLIST #AMNYPP #POLITICSNYPP https://bit.ly/3TY77uP

Last month, we had the opportunity to support the annual Benefit Fundraiser for 9/11 Health Watch—a vital group dedicated to protecting the rights of victims of the attacks. Thanks to all those who make this effort possible! #911HealthWatch #Fundraiser #CommunitySupport #HonoringHeroes

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Time to prioritize your health and empower yourself with knowledge. Over 3000 women and nearly 100 men have been diagnosed with breast cancer linked to 9/11 toxic dust exposure. Early detection is crucial! This October, schedule your mammogram and remind your loved ones to do the same. Together, we can fight breast cancer. #BreastCancerAwareness #KnowYourBody #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. Let's shine a light on this common cancer and empower ourselves with knowledge. Did you know? Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the United States, affecting both men and women. Exposure to 9/11 dust and debris has also been linked to an increased risk. This May, let's raise awareness! Share this post and encourage your loved ones to be informed about the signs and symptoms, risk factors, and importance of early detection. #BladderCancerAwareness #BeBlue #FightBladderCancer

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, a time to learn about sun safety and early detection. Did you know that exposure to 9/11 dust and debris increases the risk of skin cancer? Protect yourself with sunscreen and regular screenings. Basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma skin cancers have been linked to 9/11. #SkinCancerAwareness #WTCHealthProgram

April marks Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to educate and advocate for early detection. Exposure to toxic substances, such as those from 9/11, can heighten the risk. Spread awareness, prioritize screenings, and stand in solidarity with those affected. Together, we can make a difference. #EsophagealCancerAwareness #WTCHealthProgram

There is a much higher risk of Head and Neck cancer among those exposed to 9/11 toxic dust and debris. 📈 These are cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box, nasal cavity/sinuses, and salivary glands. Let's raise awareness, especially among survivors and responders, about the free and potentially lifesaving screening and treatment available through the World Trade Center Health Program. Early detection is crucial. Spread the word, get screened, and unite in the fight against head and neck cancers linked to 9/11.  #WTCHealthProgram #911ExposureAwareness #HeadAndNeckCancerAwareness

Pitta & Baione LLP has now recovered over $400 million for 9/11 victims and their families. This milestone means more than just the money. Behind this dollar amount is an astounding amount of pain suffered by thousands of families whose lives were permanently altered as a result of 9/11 and the toxic dust that filled the air. Thanks to the compensation and health benefits obtained through the VCF and the WTCHP, they were made more comfortable knowing their health costs and some other needs were taken care of. It is our view that no amount of money can right this wrong, but we remain dedicated to our job of ensuring they get the maximum amounts available to them under the law and make a long, complicated, and stressful process easier so they can move on with their lives.
