Keeping Pace with Industry Concerns: Accessibility, Equity in Healthcare and Gender-Affirming Care

As the industry continues to evolve, access to healthcare remains a key challenge. For certain segments of the population, access to healthcare is not equitable.

We will examine how the ADA and state disability and discrimination laws have impacted disabled and transgender employees. We will address recent challenges by transgender employees based on the denial of transition related services and the continued trend of lawsuits challenging the accessibility of workplaces. Join Jackson Lewis P.C. attorneys to discuss accessibility laws, transition-related services and enforcement and compliance in the healthcare industry.
