Accessibility
A hospital website has to work for everyone, including people who are unwell, in a hurry, or using a small phone on a slow connection.
How this site is built
- Every page can be used with a keyboard alone. A “Skip to main content” link is the first stop on each page.
- Headings, lists, tables and forms are marked up so screen readers can announce them properly.
- Text and background colours are chosen for strong contrast, and text can be enlarged to 200 percent without losing content.
- Photographs carry text descriptions. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Pages adapt from a 320-pixel phone to a wide desktop screen.
- Animation is reduced for anyone who has asked their device to limit motion.
- Phone numbers can be tapped to call, and the emergency number is on every page.
Keyboard shortcuts
- Press / or Ctrl K (⌘K on a Mac) to open search.
- Press Esc to close search or a menu.
Our aim
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. Some older documents, such as scanned PDF forms, may not yet meet that standard. If you have trouble with one, call or email us.
Tell us about a problem
If something on this site is hard to use, we want to fix it. Email info@amhosp.org or call (876) 926-7401, and tell us the page and what went wrong.
Getting around the hospital
