ADA Accessibility
Policy Statement
Valley Presbyterian Hospital (“VPH”) is committed to ensuring our website (“Website”) is accessible for all people regardless of ability or access method. Our Website conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative‘s (WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level A at minimum.
Our Website programmer evaluates ADA compliance by using validators to scan for possible accessibility issues and simulating methods used by people with disabilities. Issues and violations will be corrected to the best of our ability. All information contained on our Website can be made available in an alternative format, or arrangements can be made by employees to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities.
Purpose
Our goal is to ensure that everyone has equal access to information and can fully participate in their healthcare. We are committed to upholding our legal obligations to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) web accessibility directives.
Accessibility Features
The Website makes use of industry-standard techniques and preferred practices to provide ADA website accessibility for our users. These include features for screen reader users, keyboard-only users, users with low/impaired vision, users who are deaf and users who are colorblind.
Accessibility Challenges
While VPH is dedicated to maintaining ADA compliance on our Website, we are in varying stages of our accessibility goal. For example, some of our content is in PDF format only and some of our videos are not yet captioned. We are working to make sure all documents and videos are accessible.
Due to current technology limitations, there are some instances where we are unable to provide information in an accessible format (e.g. mapping information). We will develop solutions as technology improves.
