Arc San Fran Health Advocacy Program

Please join Jennifer Dresen and Wendy Ginther, Co-Directors at the Center for Health & Wellness at The Arc San Francisco to hear about their Health Advocacy program and techniques used to help improve the overall health and wellness of many of their clients. Learn more about health needs of aging persons with ID and the unique challenges they face to maintain their health. Jennifer and Wendy will also be joined by a team of Self Advocates who will express their thoughts regarding health issues that have affected them and what has helped to make those experiences more comfortable. They will inform us the challenges and complications that obstruct them from maintaining a healthier lifestyle. Join us to learn more about how to help break down the barriers that stand in the way of having all individuals with disabilities receive better health care and become better advocates for healthier living.
