Women’s Health
The following resources were developed as part of a collaboration with the Susan G. Komen Foundation (2007-2018). We intend for these materials to support women with disabilities and healthcare providers in understanding breast health for women with disabilities. We encourage the use of these materials to educate healthcare providers about the barriers and challenges women with disabilities face when seeking breast health services. We also hope this material will empower women with disabilities to better understand the importance of screening, risk factors, and the continuum of care.
