Social Justice Through a Disability Health Lens

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Rev. Dr. MLK Jr.   

This impactful event will include the premiere of a brief documentary series featuring personal interviews of American Americans living with disabilities and discussing their experiences in the healthcare system. Their narratives highlight the need to enhance accessibility and quality through individual and systemic change.  

Moderators and panelists will lead a discussion to address barriers, recognize the valuable contributions of both providers and patients, and collaboratively identify strategies to improve healthcare quality for people with disabilities.

Objectives:

• Thoughtfully examine the healthcare experiences of African Americans with disabilities. Foster an open, engaging discussion that inspires curiosity, highlights innovative approaches, and nurtures self-awareness of the positive impact providers can have on disability health. 
• Collaborate with clinicians and providers to co-create actionable strategies that promote inclusive practices and dismantle systemic barriers. Nurture a spirit of respect and engagement, inspiring shared commitment to implement meaningful changes in clinical care. Together, advance equity, safety, and respect for African Americans with disabilities.
