We all need to go to the doctor from time to time.

But for adults with disabilities, finding a medical provider can be a challenge.

A 2022 study found that some doctors try to avoid treating disabled patients because they feel overwhelmed and insufficiently reimbursed for the accommodations they must provide.

On Cincinnati Editionwe talk about the challenges patients face and the expansion of a center in Cincinnati that offers more accessible care.

Guests:

• Lauren Wang, MD, Center Director, Timothy Freeman, MD, Center for Developmental Disabilities, UC Health
• Emily Kendall, Co-Founder and President, Empower Me Living
• Brittany Hand, Ph.D., associate professor, division of general internal medicine, Ohio State University
