The Center for Integrative Health and Medicine, LLC. acknowledges that many health and nutrition professionals don’t create their websites, programs, media, content, and/or websites with the needs of those with disabilities in mind. Here's what we have done and what we're doing to make our website, programs, and content more accessible:
Involving people with lived experience
From day one, we've involved people with disabilities in the development of my programs, website, and business strategy. We continually receive and apply feedback, guidance, and comments from people with lived experience and subject-matter expertise in digital web accessibility, ableism, and disability justice.
Striving to exceed Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards
Our website development and engineering teams always aim for compliance with WCAG standards. We are regularly making modifications and improvements to our website, content, and learning experience to promote greater accessibility.
Captions and transcripts
Whenever possible, all of our videos include captions and written transcripts.
Vendor and partner selection process
We prioritize vendors and partners who prioritize accessibility and are aware of the systemic implications of ableism, health injustice, and digital health inequity. We also intentionally seek out partners, vendors, and freelance talent that is owned and/or operated by people with a disability.
Committing to continuous improvement, digital health equity and health justice
The company’s founder, Timothy Frie, is someone with several disabilities and chronic health conditions that have a direct impact on the ability to view and interact with digital services, environments and media. That’s why we’re committed to making an intentional and diligent effort to improve accessibility internally and externally as individuals and an organization.
Our commitment is rooted in our broader mission to advance health equity and health justice. We recognize that access to health-related information and services is a fundamental right, and we strive to ensure that all individuals, especially those from marginalized communities, have equitable opportunities to benefit from our services and resources.
