New Section 504 Regulations from Department of Health and Human Services

On this episode of the ACB Advocacy Update, Swatha speaks with Dania Douglas, Senior Attorney at the National Health Law Program, about the new rule from
the US Department of Health and Human Services covering non-discrimination on the basis of disability under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
We discuss new prohibitions on disability discrimination in crisis standards of care, access to medical equipment, and accessibility standards for websites,
mobile apps, and kiosks.
