People with Disabilities

Commonwealth Medicine, the health care consulting division of UMass Medical School, is dedicated to ensuring that people with disabilities can easily receive the care they need. Yet our commitment goes beyond ensuring that their physical needs are met. We have a full range of professionals working closely with these individuals, along with their families, to improve their quality of life. Commonwealth Medicine provides expanded opportunities for people with disabilities to receive training, join the workforce, make use of specialized equipment, live more independently, and more.
