How can we start making healthcare more accessible and inclusive for disabled people of color? citchensprucetameka of the Michigan Disability Rights Coalition my_mdrc shares these 3 strategies:
1. Make sure the physical space is accessible, including things such
as wheelchair scales.
2. Check your own biases – we all have biases towards people who are
different.
3. Learn about how different systems impact communities of color and
people with disabilities.
Alongside Tyra Randle tyra_symone and Nila Morton nilanmorton, Tameka presented “Combating Racism and Ableism in Healthcare” at
Reeve Summit 2024, in Washington, D.C.
