HerMD is committed to diversity, inclusion and accessibility in everything we do.
These core values are fundamental to our mission and care philosophy and come through in the experiences we design for people – both in our locations and on the web.
With this in mind, we are continuously taking steps to improve HerMD.com and ensure it complies with the best practices and standards defined by Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium.
Our website is monitored and tested periodically by internal and third-party accessibility consultants. These people help us identify usability issues and discover new solutions to further improve the accessibility of our site.
