Discrimination Information for Health Care Professionals


Health care professionals have a key role in ending discrimination based on diabetes. They help their patients understand their legal rights; they educate decision-makers about diabetes today and how it affects a specific patient; they advise lawyers on potential cases; they testify as expert witnesses; and they provide key testimony before legislatures. No diabetes discrimination matter can be won without the help of health care professionals.
