Website Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

District Endocrine LLC is committed to ensuring that our website, www.districtendocrine.com, is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We believe every patient and visitor deserves equal access to information about our services, providers, and care.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Measures We Have Taken

To ensure accessibility across all 112 pages of this website, District Endocrine has implemented the following:

Navigation & Structure

• Skip-to-content link at the top of every page for keyboard-only users
• Semantic HTML5 landmark regions on all pages (<main>, <nav>, <footer>)
• Logical, sequential heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) with no skipped levels
• Descriptive page titles on all 112 pages
• BreadcrumbList navigation on all sub-pages

Keyboard & Motor Access

• Full keyboard navigation throughout the site using Tab, Enter, and arrow keys
• High-contrast, 3px focus indicators visible on all interactive elements
• Minimum 44×44px touch target size on all buttons and links
• No keyboard traps — users can navigate away from any element

Visual & Color

• Color contrast ratios meeting the 4.5:1 minimum for all body text
• Text does not rely on color alone to convey meaning
• Responsive design supporting all screen sizes and orientations
• Windows High Contrast Mode supported via forced-colors media query
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality

Screen Readers & Assistive Technology

• Descriptive alt text on all meaningful images
• Decorative images marked with role="presentation"
• ARIA labels on all interactive elements, dropdown menus, and social links
• Language attribute (lang="en") declared on all pages
• Speakable schema markup identifying key content for AI and voice assistants

Motion & Animation

• Reduced motion support — animations are disabled for users who have set prefers-reduced-motion in their operating system
• No auto-playing video or audio on any page
• No content that flashes more than three times per second

Known Limitations

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across our entire site, some third-party content embedded on our website may not fully meet these standards:

• Privia Health scheduling portal — Our online booking system is provided by Privia Medical Group. We are actively working with Privia to ensure their portal meets accessibility standards.
• Google Translate widget — The language translation tool on our site is provided by Google. Its accessibility may vary and is subject to Google's own standards.
• Google Maps embeds — Interactive maps on our contact page are provided by Google and may have accessibility limitations for some assistive technologies.

We are committed to addressing any accessibility issues within our direct control and to working with our third-party vendors to improve the overall experience for all users.

Assessment Approach

District Endocrine assesses the accessibility of this website through the following methods:

• Self-evaluation — Regular internal review of all pages against WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria
• Automated testing — We use tools including Google Lighthouse and WAVE (WebAIM) to identify and resolve accessibility barriers
• Manual testing — Keyboard-only navigation testing and review of heading structure, focus order, and landmark regions
• Ongoing monitoring — Accessibility is reviewed whenever significant content updates are made to the site
