Accessibility Policy

The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) is committed to making its Web sites accessible to all users. We have included several features designed to improve accessibility. Some of these features are described below. Spanish translations will be provided when possible. We use various tools for site validation, including Functional Accessibility Evaluator (FAE), which is designed to identify barriers to accessibility in web pages.

You can find out more about the software you need to fully utilize all of the features on our website by visiting our Required Software page.

Facts About Accessibility Support:

• Images on the site contain “alt tags” with descriptions of the image.
• Adobe PDF files can be viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

We welcome comments on how to improve the site's accessibility for users with disabilities. NMDOH strives to achieve an accessible web site following Section 508 standards.
