Our Commitment to Accessibility

The Southwest Colorado Healthcare Coalition (SWCHCC) is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that all users deserve equal access to information and functionality, and we continuously work to improve the accessibility of our digital content.

As a healthcare coalition serving the region, we recognize that accessible communication is essential for emergency preparedness and public health. Our commitment to accessibility reflects our broader mission of ensuring that all community members can participate in and benefit from our coalition’s resources.

Accessibility Standards

WCAG 2.2 Level AA Compliance

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility.

Our accessibility efforts are also guided by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which require that electronic and information technology be accessible to people with disabilities.

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time achievement. As web technologies and accessibility standards evolve, we are committed to continuous improvement to ensure our website remains accessible to all users.
