This federally funded U-M Department of PMR research will contribute to the disability and health body of knowledge and ideally result in improved health care and wellbeing for individuals with disabilities.

The U-M CDHW was developed in response to the passion and commitment of faculty and staff in numerous interdisciplinary collaborations across the University of Michigan who are working to enhance health care access and quality for individuals with disabilities throughout the lifespan.
