An estimated 1.3 billion people – or 16% of the global population – experience a significant disability today. Health inequities arise from unfair conditions faced by persons with disabilities, including stigma, discrimination, poverty, exclusion from education and employment, and barriers faced in the health system itself. (World Health Organization). Locally, services operate on a threadbare budget, and staffing shortages. As a clinician, your support of people with disabilities makes a huge difference. July is Disability Pride Month, and this month, WAPA’s DEI series features the work or two local artists: Derek Thomas from Vibrant Palette Arts Center, and Forest Neander, from Art for All! #dei #disabilityawareness #disabilityarts
