Celebrating Disability Pride Month at UI Health
Join UI Health as we celebrate Disability Pride Month with a powerful panel discussion that explores how disability is being reframed—not as a limitation, but as a vital dimension of diversity and identity in healthcare.
This event will feature insights from institutional leaders and experts across UIC and UI Health, including voices from medical education, clinical affairs, disability advocacy, and accessibility coordination.
Beyond Compliance: Reimagining Disability Inclusion in Medicine
- Date: July 31
- Time: Noon — 1 pm (CT)
