Public Health Resources
ILR launched a Public Health Initiative in 2022 with federal funding. This was done by hiring a naturopathic physician to lead the development of two activities. Dr. Michelle Williams, ND. is working to expand ILR’s community partnerships with public health departments in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. She sits on a variety of advisory boards to better develop an awareness of ILR as a resource for people with disabilities accessing public health services.
