How health departments strive for accessibility and disability justice

This webinar is designed to showcase how health departments can move towards disability justice. We know that disability justice is a lofty goal, but that as we continue to strive for it we can make public health more inclusive and accessible for all people. In this webinar we will hear from two health departments and their partners, who have been working together to improve the health of people with disabilities and work towards disability justice. Throughout the case studies we will explore examples of how health departments can make their internal processes and community programs more accessible.
