April and Accommodations: Listen To What I Tell You!

Posted on April 6, 2022May 9, 2022 by Grace Trumpower

Listen to me. Please. I went to therapy for countless hours over countless years to be able to identify and express my needs and now that I finally can, it seems like it doesn’t matter.

April and Accommodations: Accessible Health Care — Not By Phone!

Posted on April 1, 2022May 27, 2022 by Anne Borden King

Something that would make my life easier would be accessible virtual health care; in other

Photo from the perspective of someone standing at a train station. To the left is a small transit shelter structure with six vertically stacked square translucent windows on the inner portion, and an array of larger translucent windows framed with bright red crosspieces. There is a curved roof overhang visible at the top of the structure. A sidewalk runs directly ahead, patterned with the shadows of trees and architectural features. To the right are tracks, a road with vehicles on it, and a line of green trees, in that order. The sky is dotted with a stylized pattern of detailed leaves, and the image overall is high contrast to emphasize details and edges. Photo © Anne Corwin

We Asked An Epidemiologist: COVID-19 Vaccine Myths and Facts

Posted on December 16, 2020April 7, 2022 by Shannon Des Roches Rosa

“I like to remind people that health departments and institutions are not just the buildings: There’s mothers and fathers and uncles and aunts and brothers and sisters working there. And we have people who we care about, people who are from all walks of life. And we are doing it for them as well.”

Understanding Competing Accessibility Needs

Posted on October 18, 2018May 3, 2022 by Brooke Winters

Accessibility is too important for us to ignore just because it can be difficult or unpopular. We also can’t choose one group and decide to make everything accessible to them, and inaccessible to other people.
