- Administration of community-based health promotion initiatives specifically for people with disabilities and environment modification to promote healthy behaviors and healthy living.
- Development of a comprehensive health service delivery system cable of providing high quality care to people with disabilities.
- A broad range of surveillance, data, and evaluation activities that highlight the health and wellness of people with disabilities.
