Abstract
People with disabilities can be healthy, even perfectly healthy. What does this teach us about health, and about health promotion as an aim of medicine and public health policy? In this talk, I explore how insights from disability scholarship and activism can help us to think about the relationship between society, embodiment, and value, as we think about what health is and what we should do about it.
