Problem

Surprisingly, medical facilities and equipment are often inaccessible to people with disabilities. Many doctors lack expertise in treatment and maintenance of disability, and may be unaware of attitudinal or communications barriers faced by their disabled patients. As a result, people with disabilities are often underserved, misdiagnosed or ineffectively treated when they attempt to obtain preventive health care services.

The Gift

Fortunately, many of these problems are easily remedied through awareness and education. Your gift of $20 will underwrite the duplication of a training video that demonstrates effective, low-cost solutions to common architectural and communication barriers. As medical practitioners learn to understand and address barriers to effective treatment, more patients with disabilities will enjoy better, healthier lives and avoid unnecessary complications.
