More controls for more patients. The toolbar adapts to how each person needs to use your site.

A Visible Commitment to Inclusion

Adding an accessibility toolbar tells patients you've thought about who's trying to reach you and done something about it.

Legal Context

Accessibility-related complaints in healthcare are increasing. AccessPro helps demonstrate your commitment to inclusion and addresses many common usability barriers. For legal advice specific to your obligations, consult a qualified professional.

For healthcare providers, those numbers have a direct impact. Patients who can’t navigate your site can’t book appointments, access records, or find the information they need to make decisions about their care. AccessPro addresses the most common barriers — low contrast, missing alt text, fonts that don’t adapt, content that can’t be heard — so more patients can actually use your site. It does not replace source-code remediation required for full WCAG conformance, but it is a meaningful first step.

Avoid Lawsuits

Stay compliant with accessibility laws to prevent legal issues.

Boost SEO

Accessibility improvements can enhance your site's search engine ranking.

Increase Patients

More accessible websites attract more visitors, potentially leading to more appointments.

Social Responsibility

Make the internet more inclusive for everyone.

Legal Requirements of Healthcare Web Accessibility

The Legal Side of Healthcare Web Accessibility

Legal Requirements of Healthcare Web Accessibility

In North America, healthcare providers are expected to ensure their websites and mobile apps meet established accessibility standards. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the U.S. and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in Canada both set requirements covering screen-reader compatibility, alt text, and keyboard navigation. Non-compliance can result in lawsuits, daily fines up to $100,000, and long-term reputational harm.

Beyond the legal side, accessibility is central to equitable patient care. When a patient can book an appointment, access their medical records, and find critical health information without hitting barriers, that’s what patient-first care actually looks like in practice. AccessPro adds user-facing features that help get you there. For full WCAG conformance, it needs to be paired with source-code remediation. For questions about your specific legal obligations, speak with a qualified professional.

Common Questions

In the U.S., healthcare providers are expected to follow the ADA and meet WCAG guidelines. In Canada, providers need to meet AODA requirements, which also reference WCAG. Together, these set the baseline for accessible digital platforms across both countries.

Accessibility laws in both the U.S. and Canada set requirements for readability, images, video, and audio. If you're not sure where you stand, partner with us. We'll review your site against these requirements and show you exactly what needs attention.

Assessments are quick. Manually updating a website to meet multiple accessibility scenarios takes considerably longer and can be expensive. Every subsequent update also needs to be reviewed. AccessPro handles the user-facing layer automatically, which reduces the ongoing burden significantly.

Installation takes about two minutes and requires no developer. The toolbar is live on your site the same day. Our pricing is built to work for organizations of all sizes, and our support team is available 24/7.

Yes. Our pricing plans are designed to fit organizations from small clinics to large hospital networks. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

The plugin was built with non-technical users in mind. If anything comes up during setup, we're available 24/7 by chat and email.
