Every year on December 3rd, the world observes the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). In 2025, the United Nations theme is “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress”. This day is a reminder that over 1.3 billion people worldwide—1 in 6 of us—live with significant disabilities. The observance calls for equity, accessibility, and inclusive health systems that recognize the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities.

At Libélula Primary Care, supporting local isn’t just a value—it’s how we operate. As a small, physician-owned practice in Boise, we build real relationships with other small businesses and offer unlimited, copay-free visits with a nationally recognized telehealth educator. Local care means deeper trust, better access, and a healthier community.
