Health Care Needs

Healthy living requires understanding the risk factors for illness and the health factors related to your disability. It also requires the individual understand the medical system, coordinate multiple services, and advocate for needed medical services.

The importance of quality health care includes both physical and mental well being. When researching particular risk factors related to your disability, don't forget to check out various disability organization's national and local websites.

Check out these sites for more information:
