Accessibility

Our commitment

Chest & Sleep Medicine Associates is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, voice control, or other assistive technology.

Many of the people we care for are managing a chronic breathing or sleep condition. Getting information about your care should never be the hard part of your day.

What we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. We treat that as an ongoing target rather than a finished result — as we add pages and content, we keep checking our work against it.

In building this site we have worked to:

• Use clear, plain language and explain clinical terms when we use them
• Keep text at a readable size and maintain sufficient color contrast
• Make every function reachable with a keyboard alone
• Give images meaningful text alternatives
• Structure pages with proper headings so screen readers can navigate them
• Label every form field, and describe errors in words rather than color alone

Where we know there are limits

Some parts of this site rely on services we do not build ourselves, including the embedded map and any third-party patient portal. We cannot control the accessibility of those tools, and we will always give you another way to get the same information or complete the same task. Call the office and a person will help you directly.

If something on this site does not work for you

Please tell us. We would rather hear about it than have you go without the information.

Call 847-855-2430 during office hours — Monday – Thursday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, Friday, 9:00 am – 3:30 pm — and tell us what you were trying to do. We will help you get it done over the phone, and we will work on fixing the page itself.

If you need information from this site in a different format, ask and we will provide it.

In an emergency

This website is not a way to reach us urgently. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.
