People with disabilities in America have multiple and complex health care needs that are often overlooked. You are invited to listen to this podcast, by The Dose (run time: 14:50), highlighting custom models from health plans and clinics to support people with disabilities and their right to live with dignity and independence.
Living With a Disability in America
- Equity– The state, quality or ideal of being just, impartial and fair. To be achieved and sustained, equity needs to be thought of as a structural and systemic concept. Source
- Preferred Gender Pronoun (PGP)– Pronoun that a person chooses to use for themself. For example: If Xena’s preferred pronouns are she, her, and hers, you could say “Xena ate her food because she was hungry.” Source
- Race– A socially constructed concept based on certain hereditary features, e.g., skin color, bone structure, hair texture, etc., that distinguish one human population from another. Source
