RHA HEALTH SERVICES RECOGNIZES DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH

ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RHA Health Services, a provider of high-quality disability care, is proud to recognize Disability Pride Month. Observed each July, Disability Pride Month commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990. The month is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of people with disabilities, recognize the importance of accessibility and inclusion, and reflect on the progress made toward expanding opportunities for all.

The ADA established important civil rights protections for people with disabilities in employment, education, transportation, public accommodations, and other areas of daily life. More than three decades later, Disability Pride Month serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring people with disabilities have the opportunity to live, work, and participate fully in their communities.

The individuals we serve are at the very heart of our work; they continually teach us about resilience, joy, and determination," says RHA CEO Mickey Atkins. "While we celebrate their contributions and achievements year-round, Disability Pride Month is a wonderful reminder of progress and the importance of inclusivity. When the disability community thrives, we all thrive."

Our mission is to foster real opportunities for adults and children with disabilities, and we are proud to partner with and celebrate people achieving their personal goals, building meaningful connections, and experiencing positive outcomes in health and wellness.
