The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition (MDRC) aims to establish a collaborative program connecting rural older adults and individuals with disabilities to assistive technology and durable medical equipment, addressing their diverse needs. This initiative also focuses on educating and training 500 professionals and caregivers within the aging network to effectively connect residents with appropriate technology and equipment, with the intention of sharing program successes nationally and informing policy changes in Michigan.
