National Public Radio did a nice piece on people with mobility issues delaying medical care because doctors’ examination tables are inaccessible.

U.S. federal civil rights laws require medical offices be accessible, but few are and they are difficult to locate.

Read or listen to the story of Rosemary Ciotti, who was determined to find a clinic with an exam table that can be raised and lowered to accommodate her.

You’ll also find advice on accessible health care from Mary Lou Breslin, who was about to begin chemotherapy for breast cancer when she was told she couldn’t get the usual outpatient treatment because she uses a wheelchair.

Breslin, a disability rights advocate, fought to get the care she needed.
