One in four people have a disability. The National Center on Disability in Public Health uses evidenced-based strategies to develop and increase the ability of public health professionals to include people who have disabilities. We build capacity by encouraging collaboration between public health partners and AUCD’s Network Centers in every state and territory. Let’s work together to address health disparities for people who have a disability.
