FirstResponderRegistry.org was created to protect the health of those who protect us,. By combining easy-to-complete assessment people can have better information to share with their clinician, We’re addressing the unique health risks faced by California’s first responders, particularly those impacted by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.”

 California’s first responders face growing health risks, including toxic burn pit exposure and the mental health strains of responding to life-threatening emergencies. A 2023 American Lung Association report highlighted the severe risks of burn pit exposure, linking it to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.

“Burn pit exposure is a silent and dangerous threat with long-term consequences for those who risk their lives to protect others,” said Yusuf Henriques, CEO of IndyGeneUS Bio. “Early detection and support are critical to ensuring the health of our first responders.”

    The mental health challenges are equally pressing. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, PTSD and depression rates among first responders are much higher than in the general population.

Dr. Franklin Moses, CEO of Virtare Health, emphasized, “First responders face extraordinary stress, which can lead to serious phusical and mental health challenges. FirstResponderRegistry.com provides vital tools, human support, with data-driven care to mitigate these risks and enhance wellbeing.”
