Description
Local health departments are often unaware that people with disabilities experience serious health inequities, but are uniquely positioned to promote full participation and healthy functioning for people with disabilities in their communities. This presentation describes disability inclusion guidance developed for local health departments by a graduate student and self-advocate, based on NACCHO Health and Disability Fellowship training and advisement from the Medical College of Wisconsin and Wauwatosa Health Department.Back to Session: Poster Symposium: Training Curricula & Outcomes
