“Register Now for the Health Inequalities: Two Vulnerable Populations webinar presented by The Health Care Advocacy Program and the Colorado Rural Health Center, Monday, October 21st, 12:00-1:00pm.
The Health Care Advocacy Program Coordinator, Alexandra Andrews, will present prevalent health concerns among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Prevalence of chronic conditions, health care providers with a lack of exposure to people that have I/DD, inability to access necessary basic health tests, and other subject areas will demonstrate that this population experiences many more health inequities than the general population.
The Policy and Advocacy Program Manager at the Colorado Rural Health Center, Alicia Haywood, will present common characteristics among rural populations and compare urban statistics to those of rural residents. Rural Coloradans face challenges around health coverage, access, an aging population, and experience higher rates of chronic disease and more people living in poverty.” [Source: Advocacy Denver]
