On May 1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the final rule governing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which protects the rights of people with disabilities in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. In response to the proposed rule, last year the Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) joined 100 organizations and individuals on a letter providing the agency with a series of recommendations.
