More than thirty years after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
was signed into law, people with disabilities continue to face
inequities in the health care system with respect to access and
outcomes. Disparities in education, employment, housing, and
transportation are also barriers to achieving health equity.

The October 2022 issue of Health Affairs provides a comprehensive,
scholarly look at the relationship between disability and health.

You are invited to join us on Monday, October 3, 2022, from 1:00 p.m.
- 4:30 p.m. for a virtual symposium at which panels of distinguished
