If you've ever googled a health question, you've almost certainly used our web materials. We consider accessibility in all of these activities. We would consider it a failure of our mission if a blind or deaf person trying to learn about, say, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or to get an appointment with us for the same, was impeded by inaccessible material or tools on our digital properties. That the law also requires them to be accessible helps us understand the best approach, but we would be doing it absent the law.
Ok. Thanks Steve!
