On July 26, 2024, CDChoices was featured in The Post Star to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This landmark civil rights act, signed into law on July 26, 1990, prohibits discrimination based on disability and ensures that individuals with disabilities are afforded equal access to all aspects of society, including healthcare settings. “In honor of Disability Pride Month, it is important to reflect on the anniversary of the ADA’s signing and appreciate how far we have come as a community,” says Christopher Graber, CEO of CDChoices. “The ADA marked a pivotal moment in our nation’s history, recognizing for the first time that people with disabilities are limited not by their own potential but instead by external factors such as inaccessibility, inequality, or unfair treatment. Today, it is estimated that one in four American adults live with a disability. At CDChoices, we believe healthcare should be personalized and accessible for all, ensuring that individuals receive timely care from someone they trust and are empowered with the resources to support independence and personal growth.”
