Our Accessibility Pledge

Updated September 28, 2026. We ensure our care is reachable for everyone. Our team is dedicated to providing an easy, inclusive digital experience for all patients.

Defining Web Inclusion

Digital accessibility ensures that patients with varied needs can navigate our psychiatric resources with the same ease as any other visitor. We achieve this by optimizing our site for diverse browsing methods, including assistive technology and simplified navigation tools.

Specific Site Enhancements at Clinic

We have designed this site following WCAG 2.1 standards to achieve AA level accessibility. Our team has worked to ensure that clinic resources are compatible with screen readers and keyboard navigation. As part of our commitment, we have implemented the following features:

Utilization of diagnostic tools to resolve potential navigation hurdles

Standardized site language for automated translation software

Logical information hierarchy across all clinical service pages

Descriptive alternative text for all medical and facility images

High-contrast color palettes for improved readability

Reduced visual motion to support sensitive visitors

Captions and accessible player controls for all video content

Compliance Notice Regarding Collaborative Third-Party Content Integration

Certain external mental health resources linked here rely on technologies managed by third parties. While we advocate for inclusion, the accessibility of these specific external portals is maintained by their respective providers. We remain vigilant in monitoring these connections to support our patients.
