What this means for you

  1. An empty accessibility field does not mean there is no ramp. It means nobody wrote about it, so call and ask before you go
  2. A third of centers do not work on weekends. Plan for weekdays
  3. One in five has no address. Some centers see patients inside hospitals and clinics, where you need the exact building

It is also the cheapest fix: it costs nothing and takes a minute
