Why did we create the Linkage Program?
Adults with disabilities sometimes have worse mental health, physical health, and chronic condition outcomes compared to adults without disabilities.
The most common problems are:
- healthcare providers not understanding disabilities
- being denied appointments
- physical inaccessibility of buildings and places
- inaccessibility of equipment like exam tables
- inadequate insurance coverage lack of transportation.
