Our Commitment
Yerkes is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to follow generally recognized standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, where reasonably practicable.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We continue to evaluate and improve our website to better serve all users.

We regularly assess our site and make improvements as issues are identified.
Third-Party Content
