Improving health access: it's about attitude.
Two hospitals set out to make their facilities accessible to people with disabilities. Surrey Memorial Hospital serves one of the most ethnically diverse communities in Canada. Its approach reflects the input from these groups and the realization that communication is at the root of many access problems. B.C. Women's Hospital serves the entire province, yet it was built at a time when little thought was given to providing access to maternity services for women with disabilities.
