A Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Through Accessibility
Florida Cardiovascular Partners is helping more of our patients access critical information on our website with the accessibility tool called Recite Me. For people with varying visual abilities, non-English speakers, and people who have difficulty reading text on a screen, Recite Me will help you access, view, and use our web pages in a way that works best for you. 1 in 4 people in the US have a disability, including dyslexia and sight loss, and 1 in 5 people in the US speak a language other than English at home. We’ve added the Recite Me toolbar to our website to increase accessibility and inclusivity for as many people as possible.
