Removing Barriers and Facilitating Access: Improving Health Care Access for People with Disabilities

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 1 in 4 adults in the United States have some type of disability, and 1 in 5 of them did not have a routine check-up in the last year. Disability inclusion allows for people with disabilities to take advantage of the benefits of the same health promotion and prevention activities experienced by people who do not have a disability. Challenges to community integration for people with disabilities also need to be addressed through innovative integrated care programs in the community. This webinar explored health centers’ and public housing authorities' initiatives to improve access to primary care and addressed social determinants of health affecting people with disabilities.
