 Health Care Providers and the ADA

The ADA requires delivery of services in a way that ensures that all people have an equal opportunity to achieve the full benefit of a program or service (Title II or Title III).  For healthcare providers, this means equitable access to care and services to people with disabilities must be provided.  This applies to modification in policies, practices, and procedures, effective communication,  and the physical accessibility of facilities. Also included are resources in those main areas of accessibility, as well as resources for employment, legal cases in this area, addiction and substance abuse, and other supplemental resources.
