Accessibility statement

What we have done to make this site usable for everyone, where we know it still falls short, and how to reach a person if it gets in your way.

Kailua Cardiology wants every patient to be able to use this site — to read about their condition, find the office, download a form, or ask for an appointment — regardless of disability, and without having to ask for help first.

We build and test this site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, and we treat an accessibility problem as a defect rather than a request.

Target standard: WCAG 2.1 level AA

What we have done

  • Every page can be operated with a keyboard alone, with a visible outline showing where you are and a “skip to content” link that jumps past the navigation.
  • Text is checked for contrast against the colour behind it. Body text was raised a size and secondary text darkened so it clears the guidelines with room to spare.
  • Each page has its own descriptive title, so browser tabs, history and screen-reader announcements tell you which page you are on.
  • Form fields have real labels, choices are grouped so a screen reader announces them correctly, and controls are large enough to tap accurately.
  • If a form cannot be submitted, a summary appears at the top listing what needs attention and moves focus there, rather than leaving you to hunt for the problem.
  • The consent documents in the online forms can be scrolled and read with a keyboard, so you are never asked to agree to something you could not reach.
  • The scheduling assistant announces new replies to screen readers as they arrive.
  • The moving video on the home page has a pause button, and it does not animate at all if your device is set to reduce motion.
  • The site is available in English and Korean, and the page tells assistive technology which language it is in so text is pronounced correctly.

Where we know we fall short

  • The downloadable PDFs come from the practice’s existing printed packet. They are in English only and may not be fully tagged for screen readers. If a PDF is unusable for you, call us and we will take the information a different way — you should not have to fight a form to be seen.
  • The map on our Locations page is an embedded Google component, and we do not control its internal accessibility. Every address and phone number shown on a map is also written out as text next to it.
  • This is ongoing work. New pages get reviewed, and we would rather hear about a problem than assume there are none.

If something here does not work for you

Please tell us, and please do not let the website stand between you and care. Call the office and a staff member will do with you, by phone, whatever the page was supposed to let you do — including booking, registering and completing consents.
