The Virginia Department of Health Professions (DHP) is committed to providing accessible digital content and services to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We continually evaluate and improve our website to ensure that everyone can access the information they need.
We strive to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d), the digital accessibility requirements under §§ 2.2‑3500‑3505 of the Code of Virginia (Information Technology Access Act), and the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
DHP works closely with our website provider and internal teams to implement improvements over time. Our efforts include optimizing document sizes, load times, navigation, and compatibility with assistive technologies. We welcome your feedback to help us identify and resolve accessibility issues.
