The Southeast Health District is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.
Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.
Accessibility Commitment
We’ve partnered with a website accessibility consultant to provide quarterly reporting and remediation steps. This partnership began in March of 2026. We’re actively working to fix what is broken and provide the best user experience for all site visitors.
Where We’re Improving
In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:
- Contrast issues
- Empty paragraph and link tags
- Empty or incorrect ALT tags
- Manual PDF investigations for readability
- Providing comparable text to any video, images or unreadable PDFs
This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at the Southeast Health District a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
Accessibility Support Contact
We welcome comments, questions, and feedback on our website. If you are using assistive technologies and are having difficulty using our website, please email our accessibility consultants Heideldesign via their Accessibility Portal. We will do our best to assist you and resolve issues.
Simplified Summary
The Southeast Health District wants everyone to be able to use its website, including people with disabilities. What we try to do: * Make the website clear and easy to read. * Help people who use assistive technology, like screen readers. * Follow accessibility rules and standards when building the website. * Improve the website over time so more people can use it. If you cannot access something on the website, report the problem and we will provide the information in another manner or fix the problem. We continue to review and update the site to make accessibility better for everyone.
