  1. Episode 199: Aging Well with Disabilities Jeff Armstrong 20:16

In this episode of the Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and Corbin Bruton discuss the barriers faced by people with disabilities in accessing medical care, inspired by an article, “I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Have No Idea How to Care for Patients With Disabilities,” by Simon Park, PhD. The conversation highlights inadequate medical training, inaccessible healthcare facilities, and the need for systemic changes in medical Education. They explore how these issues impact healthcare delivery and discuss potential solutions, including better training for healthcare providers and systemic changes. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the unique needs of individuals with disabilities to ensure they receive proper care as they… age well.
