Our Team

The Inclusive Healthcare Partnership Project is overseen by a talented and diverse group. IHPP’s management team includes a specialist in healthcare communication and a specialist in graphic medicine. Our clinical team includes a family practice doctor, advance practice nurses, and dental hygienists. Our community advisors bring lived experience as leaders in self-advocacy and disability rights.
