The University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System (UI Health) and Dr. Angel Miles amicably worked together in a manner that will improve access at UI Health. As a result, UI Health is:

  • Improving accessibility of its Sleep Center;
  • Designating a Disability Coordinator;
  • Adopting and publishing procedures for considering disability accommodations;
  • Building out 27 hospital patient rooms to make them accessible;
  • Adopting a policy to assure that patients with disabilities have access to the accessible rooms; and
  • Training staff on these new policies and procedures.

Dr. Miles was assisted by attorneys at Access Living and Robbins, Salomon & Patt, Ltd.
