Firefighter Health & Exposure Program
Specialized preventive care designed specifically for Maine firefighters.
Firefighters face unique occupational health risks that are often overlooked in traditional medical visits. This program is built around the realities of the fire service, not a generic physical.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Led by Lauren Jellison, FNP
Lauren has dedicated her clinical and academic work to firefighter health. She studied firefighter cancer risk during her master’s program at the University of Maine, completed a research-based capstone on cancer in the fire service, and has presented on firefighter health risks across Maine. She’s also married to a firefighter, so this work is personal.
WHO THIS PROGRAM IS FOR

If you’ve ever been told “that’s just part of the job” or felt dismissed when asking questions about:
- Cancer risk
- Heart health
- Sleep concerns
- Weight gain

This program was created specifically with you in mind.
UNIQUE RISKS FIREFIGHTERS FACE
Firefighters face unique risks that most healthcare visits don’t account for, including:
- Repeated smoke and toxin exposure
- Increased risk of cardiac events
- Higher cancer risk
- Shift work, sleep disruption, and metabolic changes
Traditional visits often don’t evaluate these risks in the context of fire service exposure. This program does.
