20230113 - VISAbilities - Medical Accessibility.

January 13, 2023

Please join me when I welcome our panel of long-time advocates including Scott Marshall and Paul Edwards. for a discussion of a subject we have all experienced

over these last few years – Medical Accessibility.  Regardless of age or health issues, the world of medical care has changed for us all in recent years. It is time to update the ADA Medical Checklist Scott developed many years ago.  What can we as ACB members and advocates do to see that medical professionals and IT developers receive appropriate training? Since this impacts every member of our organization and beyond, how high a priority should it have on our agenda? What has worked for you and your loved ones?  Are there some portals that are more accessible than others?  Bring your solutions to the table so we can all learn from one another
