Veterans Diagnosed with Mesothelioma in Edmond
A US Army Corps of Engineers base is located in Edmond, Oklahoma. Additionally, an Oklahoma Army & Air National Guard and Oklahoma National Guard Training Institute are located in nearby Oklahoma City. Former military members who worked at these bases could have been exposed to asbestos because the material was once commonly used in all branches of the military. It was used to insulate buildings, boilers and furnaces. It was also commonly used in the construction of various buildings. Mechanics and maintenance personnel were at an increased likelihood of exposure because asbestos was used in military ships, planes and vehicles. Due to this increased level of exposure, approximately one-third of people who have mesothelioma are veterans.
Veterans can receive treatment from the Oklahoma City VA Hospital for inpatient or outpatient services. The center provides myriad services, including an ambulatory mental health clinic, Alzheimer’s treatment, cardiac intensive care unit, chest clinic, inpatient rehabilitation program, pain rehabilitation program, pharmacy services and primary care services.
