The Power Behind CRT Awareness Week: How To Advocate For Access

Posted by Build My Wheelchair on Aug 14th 2023

CRT Awareness Week is a powerful way for healthcare organizations to advocate for access and raise awareness about complex rehabilitation technology (CRT). During this time, it's important for stakeholders to come together and discuss the issues facing people with disabilities. This year’s CRT Awareness Week will focus on the importance of equitable access, creating meaningful outcomes, and collaboration in order to create healthier outcomes.

At the heart of CRT Awareness Week are the stories of those who have access to this life-changing technology. These inspiring stories demonstrate why it’s important for healthcare organizations to vocally advocate for access and share these stories with their communities. It can be difficult to understand how complex rehabilitation technology can improve someone’s quality of life until you hear these stories firsthand.

Advocating for access to CRT can also take many forms. Healthcare organizations should consider leading public awareness efforts, engaging in advocacy campaigns, and hosting educational events or discussions about the importance of equitable access. By raising awareness about the benefits of CRT, healthcare organizations can help create a more inclusive healthcare system that works for everyone, regardless of ability.

Here are some additional ways to advocate for access to CRT:

  • Educating members of the public on the importance of accessibility and inclusion
  • Sharing stories from people with disabilities who are using CRT to improve their quality of life
  • Partnering with disability organizations to better understand the needs and challenges faced by those who need CRT
  • Working with lawmakers to create policy changes that will help increase access for those in need
  • Participating in advocacy campaigns and lobbying activities that focus on increasing access to CRT

At its core, the goal of CRT Awareness Week is to ensure that everyone has access to this life-changing technology. Healthcare organizations can use their power and influence to advocate for equitable access and promote meaningful outcomes for people with disabilities. With more education and awareness around complex rehabilitation technology, we can create healthier communities today and in the future.

By amplifying the voices of those who are using this technology, and by coming together to discuss the challenges they face, we can create a more inclusive world that works for everyone. Join us this CRT Awareness Week and together we can ensure equitable access for all. #CRTAwarenessWeek #AccessForAll
