Time: 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM EST

Duration: 90 Minutes

Summary

In 2021, Resources for Integrated Care (RIC) produced a webinar titled Supporting the Preventive Health Care Needs of Dually Eligible Women with Disability. The webinar addressed barriers and solutions to support dually eligible women with disability in accessing person-centered preventive health care. More specifically, the webinar highlighted key issues relevant to the role of provider training, communication, and stigma, as well as accessibility to appropriate equipment and facilities.

This webinar will build off the past webinar and explore innovative solutions and best practices for disability-competent care (DCC) for dually eligible women at midlife and beyond, including addressing menopause and associated conditions. The information provided in this webinar will focus on accessibility, provider awareness and education, health promotion, and strategies for consumers and providers in coordinating health care services and supports for dually eligible women across the life course.
