Learn how to advocate for you healthcare rights!

Did you know that people with disabilities and Deaf people are at a significant risk of poor health, and face numerous barriers to accessing quality healthcare and health promotion information? There are physical barriers, attitude barriers and barriers in how the health system operates.  This is an opportunity to take your healthcare into your own hands!
