The Center on Disability & Health was founded in 2004 to promote health and access to care for people with disabilities, prevent secondary conditions, and eliminate disparities between people with and without disabilities in the United States. Its objectives include conducting interdisciplinary research, training, technical assistance, and educational activities related to disability and health.
