Accessibility Statement

Alaska Skin Cancer Specialty Group is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are actively working toward WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and continually improve the user experience for everyone by applying relevant accessibility standards to provide equal access to all users.

We believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare information and services, regardless of abilities or disabilities. This commitment extends to our digital presence as we work to make our website accessible to all visitors.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1)

We are actively working toward conforming to WCAG 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible for people with disabilities and user-friendly for everyone. While we have implemented many accessibility features, we continue to evaluate and improve our compliance.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

We are committed to meeting ADA requirements and continuously work to provide equal access to information and functionality for all users. Our ongoing efforts focus on identifying and addressing accessibility barriers as we work toward full compliance.

Our website includes content from third-party services such as Google Analytics for website performance monitoring. While we strive to ensure all content meets our accessibility standards, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of external services.

We work with vendors to promote accessible practices and seek alternative solutions when accessibility barriers are identified.

We are actively working toward achieving WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. While we have implemented many accessibility features, we acknowledge that some areas may still need improvement to meet full AA standards.

We regularly conduct accessibility reviews, run automated testing tools, and prioritize accessibility fixes in our ongoing website maintenance. Our goal is to achieve and maintain full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

We welcome feedback from users about accessibility barriers as we continue this important work.
