Does anyone know attorneys (national or local) or firms who litigate Section 504 or Section 1557 claims against hospitals or health systems, not employers? I’m open to a paid consultation. I just need someone in the right practice area. Leads or search terms would help.

Those protesters paved the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 — and for the work we do today at People on the Go Maryland!

Their fight became our freedom.

🎉 Today is the 53rd anniversary of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973! Section 504 was the first federal law to protect Americans with disabilities from discrimination. Its regulations were signed thanks to the historic 504 Demonstrations. ✊✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿❤️

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act applies to any place that gets money from the U.S. government. These places can't mistreat people because of their disabilities and must give reasonable accommodations.
