The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office for Civil Rights today issued new technical assistance guidance for medical providers which will help people with mobility disabilities obtain accessible medical care. Access to Medical Care for Persons with Mobility Disabilities will assist medical care providers in understanding how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 apply to them. This 19-page document includes an overview of general ADA requirements, commonly asked questions, and illustrated examples of accessible facilities, examination rooms and medical equipment.
For more information about the ADA or to obtain copies of Access to Medical Care for Individuals with Mobility Disabilities visit www.ada.gov or call the ADA Information Line at 1-800-514-0301(V) or 1-800-514-0383 1-800-514-0383 (TTY). For more information about Section 504, see www.hhs.gov/ocr/.
