Powered by Web ability – Your Partner in Digital Accessibility
In today’s healthcare landscape, your website is often the first point of contact between patients and providers. But what if that digital front door is closed to people with disabilities?
For healthcare providers, ADA compliance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a moral obligation and a business advantage. That’s why more and more healthcare organizations are turning to Web ability, a powerful accessibility platform built to help you stay compliant and inclusive, without the technical headaches.
Why Accessibility in Healthcare Matters
Healthcare is essential—but not always accessible. Millions of patients with disabilities struggle to navigate healthcare websites that aren’t designed with inclusivity in mind. From booking an appointment to reading lab results or checking insurance policies, inaccessible digital experiences can exclude a large segment of the population.
According to the World Health Organization, over 1.3 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. In the U.S. and Canada, 1 in 4 adults experience disabilities that affect how they interact with technology.
Web ability helps bridge this gap by making healthcare websites usable for everyone, regardless of ability.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that businesses—including healthcare providers—offer equal access to services, including digital platforms. In practice, this means following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure your website can be used by people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor disabilities.
With lawsuits on the rise and patient expectations shifting toward more inclusive digital services, ADA compliance is no longer optional—it’s essential. That’s where Web ability comes in.

Many healthcare providers aren’t aware their websites may be excluding patients. Common issues include:
