LIFTT is thrilled to announce that Prof. Dr. Meg Traci and her team from the Montana Disability & Health Program (MTDH) will visit LIFTT’s new headquarters at 1241 Crawford Drive, Billings, MT 59102, on June 17 and 18, 2024!
 
Dr. Traci and the MTDH team will work with LIFTT’s Peer Mentors on the Linkage Project, an initiative designed to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who are not meeting their health needs.
The Linkage Project has two main goals:
  1. Empowerment Through Education: Helping individuals learn about health issues that are important to them.
  2. Improving Health Access: Ensuring those with I/DD receive the necessary support to address their health needs.
This is an incredible opportunity for our community to benefit from Dr. Traci and her team’s expertise and dedication. We look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will bring!
 
Stay tuned for more updates on the Linkage Project and LIFTT’s other work with MTDH, and join us in welcoming Prof. Dr. Meg Traci and her team to Billings!
