Effective Date: June 15, 2026
Rainier Foot & Ankle Associates is committed to ensuring that our website and digital communications are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA conformance level.
Our Commitment
We believe that every patient and visitor deserves equal access to health care information and services. We are actively working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure we provide an equal experience for all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnification software, voice recognition tools, and alternative input devices.
Measures We Take
To support accessibility, we have taken or are working to take the following measures:
- Including accessibility as part of our website development and content practices
- Using semantic HTML and proper heading structures to support screen reader navigation
- Providing text alternatives for non-text content including images
- Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background elements
- Designing forms with clear labels and instructions
- Enabling keyboard-only navigation throughout the site where feasible
- Avoiding content that flashes or flickers at rates known to trigger seizures
- Providing resizable text that does not break the layout of the page
- Reviewing and updating our website regularly to address accessibility issues
Conformance Status
We are working toward full conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. While we strive to adhere to accepted accessibility and usability standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. We are continually seeking solutions that will bring all areas of the site to the same level of overall accessibility.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some content on our website may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. These may include older PDF documents, third-party content or embedded tools, and some legacy page elements. We are working to resolve these limitations on an ongoing basis.
Third-Party Content
Some content on our website is provided by third-party platforms or services, such as appointment scheduling tools, map embeds, or social media widgets. While we encourage our third-party providers to meet accessibility standards, we cannot guarantee full accessibility of all third-party content. If you encounter difficulties with any third-party content, please contact us and we will do our best to provide the information in an alternative format.
Alternative Access to Information
If you are unable to access any content or use any feature on our website due to a disability, please contact us. We will work with you to provide the information or service you need through an alternative accessible means, such as by phone, email, or in person at our office.
Washington State Requirements
Washington State also requires public-facing entities and health care providers to make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. In accordance with the Washington Law Against Discrimination (RCW Chapter 49.60) and applicable ADA obligations, we are committed to providing equal access to our services for all individuals regardless of disability status.
