Over 65 million U.S. adults live with a disability, meaning one in four patients has a disability, whether disclosed or not. People with disabilities face multiple barriers to preventive care at individual, interpersonal, and systemic levels and are three times more likely to report unmet health care needs. On top of this, many U.S. health care professionals lack adequate training in disability-inclusive care. That’s where the Screening for All initiative comes in. This webinar explores practical tools to improve accessibility and equity in clinical practice and uses real-world examples and patient perspectives to explore barriers and accommodations across four key screenings: breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer and osteoporosis.
