Accessibility statement

Last updated: June 2026

The practice of Dr. Elizabeth Kiwanuka, MD, PhD is committed to providing a website that is accessible to all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We believe access to medical information and care is a fundamental right, and we are working continuously to ensure this site supports it.

Our standard

This website is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the international standard for digital accessibility. We test against these guidelines using a combination of manual review, automated tooling, and feedback from users.

What we have implemented

• Semantic HTML structure with appropriate heading hierarchy on every page.
• Sufficient color contrast between text and background, tested against WCAG AA thresholds.
• Keyboard navigation, so that every interactive element is reachable and operable without a mouse.
• Descriptive alt text for images that convey information.
• Focus indicators on links and buttons.
• Responsive design that works on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops.
• Fonts and line spacing chosen for legibility, with the ability to scale text via standard browser controls.

Ongoing work

Web accessibility is not a one-time achievement; it is a continuous practice. We periodically review and improve the site as content and tools evolve. If you encounter a barrier on this website, such as a page that does not work with your assistive technology, an image without sufficient description, or a form you cannot complete, we want to hear about it and resolve it.

In-office accessibility

The office at 30 Central Park South, Suite 13A is accessible by elevator. If you have specific accessibility needs for an in-person visit, including mobility, vision, hearing, cognitive, or communication needs, please let the office know in advance so we can prepare the appointment to support you.

Third-party content

Some functionality on this site, including the patient scheduling portal, is hosted by third parties. We have selected partners who maintain accessibility standards, but we do not directly control their content.
