Accessibility Statement

1. Our Accessibility Efforts

USAMSHS seeks to consider accessibility when designing, maintaining, and updating USAMSHS.org.

Our accessibility efforts may include consideration of:

• Readable text and clear content organization
• Logical heading structures
• Keyboard-accessible website functions where practical
• Alternative text for meaningful images where appropriate
• Color contrast and visual readability
• Responsive layouts for different screen sizes
• Form labels and understandable instructions
• Links that can be identified and understood
• Mobile and desktop usability

2. Accessibility Guidance

In our ongoing accessibility efforts, USAMSHS may consider generally recognized accessibility practices and guidance, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Reference to WCAG or other accessibility guidance does not represent that this website has been independently audited, formally certified, or determined to conform completely with any particular accessibility standard or conformance level.

Our objective is to continue improving accessibility where reasonably practicable as the website develops.

3. Website Forms

USAMSHS.org may contain contact, service request, Vendor Pre-Qualification, employment interest, and other interactive forms.

We seek to make these forms understandable and usable by providing labels, instructions, required-field indicators, and logical organization.

If you experience difficulty using a website form, you may contact USAMSHS directly by telephone or email for assistance or to request another reasonable method of communication.

4. Images and Visual Content

Where appropriate, meaningful website images may include alternative text or other contextual information intended to help communicate their purpose.

Decorative visual elements may not require descriptive alternative text when they do not provide information necessary to understand the page.

5. Mobile Accessibility

USAMSHS.org is designed to support commonly used desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes.

Website appearance and functionality may vary depending on the device, browser, operating system, accessibility technology, display settings, or other technology used by the visitor.

6. Browser and Assistive Technology Differences

Accessibility can be affected by combinations of web browsers, operating systems, assistive technologies, browser extensions, user settings, and device configurations.

While we seek to provide a usable experience, we cannot guarantee identical performance across every possible combination of technology.

7. Third-Party Content and Services

This website may contain links to or interact with services provided by independent third parties, including social media platforms, email systems, hosting services, external regulatory resources, government websites, or other online services.

USAMSHS does not control the accessibility of independent third-party websites, applications, platforms, documents, or services.

Visitors experiencing accessibility difficulties with third-party content may need to contact the applicable third-party provider.

8. Documents and Downloadable Materials

From time to time, this website may provide access to documents, forms, publications, or other downloadable materials.

Accessibility may vary depending on the document type, source, age, format, or software used to view the material.

If you experience difficulty accessing information contained in a document provided through our website, please contact us so that we can evaluate an alternative method of providing the information where reasonably possible.

9. Requesting Accessibility Assistance

Please do not provide sensitive medical information that is unnecessary for us to understand the accessibility issue.

10. Alternative Communication

If website content or a website function cannot be accessed effectively, USAMSHS may, where reasonably practicable, attempt to provide the requested information or assistance through another available communication method.

Depending on the request, this may include telephone or email communication.

11. Accessibility Feedback

Accessibility feedback can help identify areas where the website may be improved.

Visitors are encouraged to contact us if they identify a specific accessibility barrier or have difficulty obtaining information through USAMSHS.org.

12. Ongoing Improvements

Changes to technologies, website content, third-party services, and accessibility guidance may also result in future modifications.
