A medical center recently opened in a low-income community. It offers care for people with restricted health insurance plans or no insurance. The center is accessible by several forms of public transportation, so most people can reach it. Residents are grateful for the new center because they have been asking for better access to medical services. However, they note that the medical center is on the third floor of the building, and the building does not have a wheelchair ramp or an elevator.How does this scenario reflect a failure to implement equity?
