White Paper: Declaration for Independence - A Call to Transform Health and Long Term Services for Seniors and People with Disabilities, http://www.mydfi.org This White Paper presents six principles necessary to modernize health care infrastructure and support independence. It is a Call to Action and a platform for dialogue with other interested groups, advocates, policy-makers, and the public.
