A conversation with Dr. Megan Morris
How do we define quality of life? And how do we provide quality healthcare?
These are key questions in the work of Dr. Megan Morris, a health services researcher, speech-language pathologist, and Associate Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at NYU Langone Health.
Dr. Morris is focused on addressing structural and interpersonal ableism in the American healthcare system - today she reveals just how far behind we are in the journey toward equity and accessibility.

We spoke about how ableism impacts patient care, why documenting disability status is crucial in our mission to improve quality of care, some of the changes occurring within the system, and what it would take to make healthcare truly inclusive for everyone.
