The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

I have completed the form. I had trouble with 2. I finally figured out it
was a combo box so I marked other and said I am a blind patient.

Ohio Members, Friends and Partners,

 

Please take a moment to lend your voice to this important initiative that
will change the lives of persons with disabilities to receive accessible
medication labels in Ohio.

 

Please spread the word and let's make this happen.

 

Suzanne Turner, Legislative Chair

National Federation of the Blind of Ohio, 

 

///

 

In plain English for those of us who are not fluent in legalize, a rule is
being considered that will create a directory for Ohio patients of
pharmacies that have translation, services for the hearing impaired and low
vision population.  Basically, a list will be created by the Board of
Pharmacy that these individuals would have access to that will provide them
a list of pharmacies that offer these services. Obviously, we hope that they
consider in the future making these accommodations a rule. but we are happy
they are moving in right direction. 

 

*         This is only 4 questions, with the 4th being most important
because this is where they can let their feelings fly on the issue. We are
encouraging passion and stories that pull at heart strings here. 

*         All of these are due by 11/2/2023

*         Please encourage everyone to mark "proponent"

*         Below is the link to email/ TXT patients that would like to voice
their opinions on Prescription Label Accessibility in their state.

*         Below is the email address that they can send their concerns to if
the form above is inaccessible for them.
