  • 75% of people with Disabilities experience difficulties when accessing buildings and public spaces (Scope)

    “We must reframe the narrative so that we - as a collective - understand that “a Disability is caused by the way society is organized, rather than by a person's impairment or difference.” (Scope).

  • Without accessibility & inclusion, we perpetuate ableism & systemic inequality - regardless of our intention.

    Ableism can take place on a personal or institutional level - ranging from social barriers to outright inaccessibility and isolation.

    Ableism is rooted in the harmful belief that there is a “normal” way for humans to function. So the solution begins with transforming the way society defines and places value on the “normal” human experience.

  • When you enter a Resource Hub, you enter an area where advocacy, accessibility and inclusion are championed on paper (i.e. policies & procedures) and in practice (i.e. organizational culture & resources).

    When you enter a Resource Hub, you enter an area where customers, employees & community members are supported and where various barriers are addressed head on:

    • Physical barriers

    • Communication barrier

    • Attitudinal barriers

    • Cultural barriers

    • Procedural barriers

A MESSAGE FROM THEIR TEAM

“We’re excited to share that we now have a designated Resource Hub at a Patient Consultant station at the Prime Leaf on Park!



This station is designed to support multiple forms of communication methods in a more private space. Patients can indicate their communication preferences and easily get the medication they need. Additionally, some of our patient consultants are learning ASL to expand our communication abilities!



Shoutout to @advocacyrevolution for helping to bring Resource Hubs to the Prime Leaf!”
