NYC Commission on Human Rights Announces Settlement with Lenox Hill Radiology Following Investigation into Failure to Provide Equal Access to Mammograms for Patients with Disabilities
March 29, 2018Disability Justice, Medical Access, News
“When people with disabilities are denied access to medical care because of inaccessible buildings or equipment, they face the untenable choice between addressing the problem and maintaining their relationship with their medical provider,” said Staff Attorney in the Disability Justice Program at the New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, Irene Mendez. “Vindicating one’s rights must not come at the expense of continuity of care. New York Lawyers for the Public Interest is grateful that the Commission can investigate and remedy such medical access problems, while preserving patient anonymity. We applaud the Commission’s work in ensuring accessibility for all at Lenox Hill Radiology.”
