For years, the healthcare community has turned its back on people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). For years physicians, dentists, hospitals, and emergency rooms have quietly told patients with IDD and their families seeking care for them, to find that care elsewhere. Now there’s another way. A better way. A healthy way. There’s a place where people with IDD are treated with tenderness, compassion, understanding, and respect. There’s a place where doctors care for their patients with IDD with sensitivity; and they accept each of their patients as important and valued individuals.
