Welcome to the Harris Family Center for Disability and Health Policy!

Western University of Health Sciences (WesternU) established the Harris Family Center for Disability and Health Policy (CDHP) in 1998 in response to the concerns of the disabled community, which is one of the nation’s fastest growing and least understood diverse groups.

CDHP prides itself on giving individualized consideration of each student’s abilities, and the disability-related barriers they face, to devise creative and innovative accommodation solutions to ensure equal access.

CDHP Mission:

The mission of the CDHP is to increase the number of qualified individuals with disabilities to successfully pursue careers in the health professions. We support the University’s commitment to humanism by providing support services and academic accommodations to students with disabilities. We share information, promote awareness of disability issues, and ensure access for students within the University community.
