One of the first consumer controlled disability rights group in Philadelphia and in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the group has been an active initiator and contributor to numerous advocacy efforts. Their efforts include meetings with local and state legislators and other community leaders, community education regarding disability, continuous work with public systems to maintain and improve services for people with disabilities and more on the local, state and national levels. Join us as we advocate for change. If so, please join us to discuss navigating the HMO system and improving the service people get from HealthChoices.
