Dear President-Elect Obama:
Congratulations on your successful election campaign! We are very excited about your desire to make America and the world a better place for all individuals. Our interest here at NCHPAD is to make it a better place for people with disabilities. We're ready to roll up our sleeves and work alongside your health care reform team to rebuild a society that includes an expansive health promotion program for people with disabilities. As you know, the deep financial collapse of our economy will disproportionately affect people with disabilities, many of whom depend on social services to make ends meet. We believe that health promotion is an important way to anchor a person's life during times of financial exigencies and deep unemployment.
