Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to making this site usable by everyone.

Our commitment

Gallatin Valley Surgical Arts is committed to ensuring that every patient, family member, referring provider, and community member can access the information and services on this website — regardless of disability or assistive technology used.

Conformance target

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA (link opens in a new tab). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments.

Measures we take

  • Semantic landmarks (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>) and a “Skip to main content” link on every page.
  • All form fields use programmatic labels, autocomplete attributes where appropriate, error messages associated with the fields they describe, and clear focus indicators.
  • The patient-referral and contact forms can be completed and submitted using the keyboard alone.
  • Color contrast targets ≥ 4.5:1 for body text and ≥ 3:1 for UI components and focus rings.
  • Honor of the prefers-reduced-motion system setting — entrance animations are disabled for users who request it.
  • Layouts remain usable when the browser is zoomed to 200% and when text spacing is increased.

Known limitations

We are continually improving and are aware of the following items still in progress:

  • Some PDF documents linked from the site may not yet be fully tagged for screen readers. If you need a PDF in an accessible format, please contact us and we will provide an alternative.
  • Embedded third-party media (e.g., YouTube) follows the third party’s accessibility implementation; we caption our own video content where it is the primary information.

Reporting an accessibility barrier

If you experience any accessibility barrier on this website, please let us know. We aim to respond to all accessibility feedback within 5 business days and to resolve confirmed issues as quickly as practicable.

When reporting, please include the page address (URL), a description of the issue, and the assistive technology or browser you were using if known. This information helps us reproduce and fix the problem more quickly.

Formal complaints

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (which enforces Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 1557 of the ACA) or the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division (which enforces the Americans with Disabilities Act).
