AUCD's National Center on Disability in Public Health (NCDPH) builds capacity by encouraging collaboration between public health partners and AUCD's Network Centers. Key areas of health disparity serve as the focus areas for this National Center and include: Access to Healthcare, Developmental Monitoring and Screening, Emergency Preparedness, Nutrition and Healthy Weight, Wellness and Mental Health, and Sexual and Reproductive Health.  This National Center uses evidence-based strategies to develop and increase the ability of public health professionals to include people who have disabilities. Examples of our work include outreach to public health partners, such as the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) annual conference, and technical assistance and support for the current cohort of Act Early Ambassadors.

Interested in working with us? Need help navigating disability inclusion strategies with health partners? Set up an introductory call with one of our team today! And check out the National Center's website for more information.
