Executive Summary
Our automated WCAG 2.1 AA scan of Phillips County Hospital's website (phillipscountyhospital.org) identified 2 unique accessibility issues, with a 92% overall pass rate across 2 pages. This represents elevated legal risk under ADA Title II and III requirements.
The issues are ensure the contrast between foreground and background colors meets wcag 2 aa minimum contrast ratio thresholds, ensure interactive controls are not nested as they are not always announced by screen readers or can cause focus problems for assistive technologies — these are global issues embedded in the site template, appearing on 2 of 2 scanned pages. These require a single template-level fix.
With 22 serious/critical violations and the DOJ's April 2026 Title II deadline approaching, Phillips County Hospital should prioritize remediation to avoid potential ADA litigation (4,605 website lawsuits filed in 2024, average settlement $5K-$20K per case).

Site-Wide Issues — Present on Every Page
These violations appear globally across the site and require template-level fixes — not page-by-page patches.
Legal Exposure
The DOJ's enforcement posture has shifted. Federal courts are consistently ruling that websites are places of public accommodation covered by Title III — and Title II applies to government entities with a hard deadline.

Overlay Widgets Don't Work — and Courts Know It
The FTC fined accessiBe $1,000,000 for false compliance claims. 800+ overlay users were still sued despite having the widget installed. Courts consistently reject JavaScript overlays as evidence of compliance — they mask violations from automated tools without fixing them for real users.
Healthcare organizations face heightened exposure under ADA Title II. The DOJ's April 2026 enforcement deadline is not a soft date — it applies to state and local government entities and their contractors.
