Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

Golden Valley Health Centers (GVHC) is committed to ensuring equal digital access for people with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves seamless, independent access to our digital healthcare resources, patient portals, and community information.

Compliance and Ongoing Remediation

In accordance with the updated U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Section 504 regulations, GVHC is firmly committed to achieving and maintaining compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

We are actively in the process of auditing our website and conducting comprehensive remediation to meet these technical standards. This ongoing work involves updating our site’s underlying code, improving keyboard navigation, optimizing color contrast, and ensuring broad compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Requesting Accessible Materials

We recognize that while we are undertaking this remediation process, some areas of our current website—including legacy PDF documents, certain historical resources, and complex forms—may not yet be fully accessible.

Having access to your healthcare information is critical. If you need any materials, intake forms, PDFs, or medical documents provided in an alternative, compliant format, please contact us immediately. We will work directly with you to provide the information or service you need through an accessible, alternative communication method.
