Summit for Health Equity: The Experience of Disability Discrimination in Accessing Healthcare
October 25, 2023
Foley Hoag presented our first-ever hybrid half-day Summit for Health Equity in which we – through four presentations and panel discussions – provided an overview and analysis of the latest issues surrounding health equity and social determinants of health in the U.S. The Summit convened multi-disciplinary lawyers and leaders across the healthcare vertical for engaging dialogue and education.
The Experience of Disability Discrimination in Accessing Healthcare
This session addressed discrimination against people with disabilities and its impact on integration in the community and the workplace. Among other topics, we discussed the types and degrees of discrimination affecting people with disabilities and what approaches, e.g., implementation of Section 504, are being used to try to address these issues.
Panelists:
Constance Garner, Senior Policy Director - Disability & Special Populations Practice, Foley Hoag
Nicole Jorwic, J.D., Chief of Advocacy and Campaigns, Caring Across Generations
