In this episode of Disability Inclusion: Required, host Emily Ladau welcomes Dr. Bonnie Swenor, Endowed Professor of Disability Health and Justice at The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and Director of the Johns Hopkins Disability Health Research Center, about the many healthcare inequities that the disability community experiences due to ableism and inaccessibility. Dr. Swenor calls for philanthropy to engage with the disability community to support the development of better metrics for accurate data collection, highlighting the importance of including diverse perspectives and centering disabled people who hold multiple marginalized identities.
