Did you know? All individuals with Down syndrome deserve the opportunity to be active participants in promoting their health.

All individuals with Down syndrome are worthy and deserving of comprehensive and compassionate health care and opportunities to be active participants in promoting their own health. For too long, health care was something done TO or FOR people with Down syndrome instead of WITH people with Down syndrome. As is the case for all of us, people with Down syndrome require varying levels of support in promoting their health but they have the ability and desire to be healthy so they can enjoy all the opportunities that life offers. If you haven't had the chance, check out the videos in the Patient Education and Health Promotion section of our Video Gallery to see some of the ways in which people with Down syndrome promote their health.
