In 2019, Disability Partnerships launched a new community outreach project focused on accessibility. We partnered with Adventist HealthCare and Rehabilitation (AHC) in Rockville, MD, to develop a checklist of ADA guidelines to help medical offices ensure they are truly accessible.

Our team, including a physical therapist and a wheelchair user, conducted audits of local medical facilities and provided feedback to the managing physicians. The goal of the project was to eliminate the inaccessibility of doctor's offices as a barrier to healthcare for individuals with severe physical disabilities.

Due to COVID-19, we had to pause the physical audits of facilities. However, thanks to a generous health equity grant, the program has restarted. Our role now includes supporting the marketing and promotion of the accessibility project.
