Help People Living with Disabilities Get the Care They Need

People living with disabilities face unique barriers and health care challenges, like not having access to a regular health care provider and routine check-ups. As a result, they have poorer overall health outcomes, including increased likelihood of obesity (41.6%), diabetes (15.9%), and heart disease (9.6%) (see CDC). During Disability Pride Month and the Americans with Disabilities Act anniversary month, find out how you can help address these challenges.
