Disabled Not Disposable Health Equity Conference

November 27, 2023

Disabled not Disposable. November 29, 2023. 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Register for free. In the background, a crowd of people.Disabled Not Disposable is a free virtual conference for health care providers who seek increased knowledge and training on providing quality and dignified care for patients with disabilities. The hope is that this conference will result in decreased health inequities faced by the disability community and improve trust with a community that disproportionately requires complex care.

The half-day virtual event will involve four educational sessions between the medical community and the disability community. The session topics are as follows:

  • Ableism and Disability Bias in Health Care
  • Inclusive Communication
  • Intersectionality
  • Accessibility and Person-Centered Health Care
  • Optional Debrief and After Care Session

The conference’s goal is to improve healthcare for disabled people through knowledge and a training session to begin a conversation between disabled people and healthcare providers. Sessions and discussions will aim to improve the quality of care for patients who have disabilities.

The event will be emceed by Trevor Turner from the Minnesota Council on Disability. To learn more and to register for free, visit the MNCCD Calendar. After registering, you will receive an email with confirmation instructions.
