CEI Perspectives: Healthcare Equity for People Who Are Disabled

Original presentation: June 26, 2024 via Zoom

Join the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) as we bring community partners together for a critical conversation on building healthcare equity for people who are disabled. Exchanging knowledge about disability rights and advocacy as well as patient care and outcomes will create a beneficial platform for raising awareness, sharing resources, and determining next-step action items.
