Ongoing Compliance Information
Meeting accessibility standards is an ongoing process, and Ute Pass Regional Health Service District will continue to work toward increasing the accessibility of our site.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Ute Pass Regional Health Service District is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
Ute Pass Regional Health Service District has designated Arren Gavin as its compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations. The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to annual testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards, Ute Pass Regional Health Service District regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance and makes timely changes to any inaccessible items, if any are found. In our ongoing commitment to transparency, we make the last three months’ reports available to the public.
