The Unified Health Summit will be made up of lecture style presentations and panels that will train current and future healthcare professionals on how to be “Inclusive Providers”. We feel it is crucial to involve people with IDD in discussions regarding their health, so the summit will also welcome Special Olympics athlete leaders – Athletes will participate in select unified sessions with health professionals/students and learn how to be advocates for their own health. The summit will be a space for our athletes to share their experiences and provide a unique unified opportunity for people with IDD and providers to learn together and inspire action in our health systems. Healthcare professionals and students that attend this summit will be provided with background knowledge about the health inequities faced by people with intellectual disabilities, hear first-hand from people with ID about their lived experience, and have the opportunity to connect with individuals with IDD from across their region resulting in increased communication skills and comfortability. Two sessions specific to healthcare providers and students will be offered for CME Credits through the University of Rochester.
