DHHS Web Accessibility Statement
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is committed to providing access to
our web pages for individuals with disabilities, both members of the public and Federal
employees.
To meet this committment, we will comply with the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508
requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking

comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities,
unless an undue burden would be imposed on us. Section 508 also requires us to ensure that
Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is
comparable to the access to and use of information and data by Federal employees who are
not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on us. (To
learn more about the regulations governing the accessibility of Federal electronic
