Desert Healthcare District: ADA Title II document accessibility deadline and status
Our October 16, 2026 crawl of dhcd.org(opens in new tab) found at least 1,736 public documents, about 4,090 pages. 14 of the 45 files we checked passed basic machine checks.
- Our latest refresh attempt on October 16, 2026 did not finish, so these figures come from the earlier crawl.

What our crawl found on dhcd.org
Counts from our October 16, 2026 crawl, which visited 1 pages. Our crawler found 1,736 public documents on dhcd.org — an estimated 4,090 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
The crawl stopped at its time limit, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.

- Agendas & minutes903 · 52%

- Forms7 · <1%
- Newsletters1 · <1%
Meeting agendas and minutes dominate this inventory at 52% of all documents. Packets published from the compliance date on have to be accessible, as do older ones residents still use to take part in a meeting or a process; older packets kept only for reference may fall under the rule's exceptions.

Checked sample
14 of 45 passed(31%)
- Passed basic checks: 14
- Did not pass: 31
The checked files are mixed: some pass the basics and some don't. Fixing the templates you publish from now, while working through older files in batches, usually saves the most time.
The rate covers the 45 files we checked, not all 1,736 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
13% scanned
Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.
Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.
Forms are a small part of this inventory (0%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

These are machine checks on a sample, not a compliance finding, and they say nothing about the people who publish Desert Healthcare District's documents. The results for the sampled files are public above. The full inventory of every document we found, with detailed per-file reports, is available to verified staff of Desert Healthcare District after claiming this page.
Files we checked on dhcd.org
Links go to the files on dhcd.org as we found them on October 16, 2026.
These are automated checks on a sample of files as published on October 12, 2026. They are not a legal compliance finding and don't cover reading order, alt-text quality or table structure. Something wrong? Ask for a correction or removal.

Show all 44 filesShow fewer
1 more checked file is counted above but not linked here: it is on another site or its name looks like a personal record.
What each check looks for
- Tagged structure
- The file has a tag tree, so assistive technology can tell headings, lists and paragraphs apart.
- Document language
- The file declares its language, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
- Document title
- The file has a document title, shown instead of the file name.
- Image alt text
- Every image in a tagged file carries alternative text, or the file has no untagged images.
- Form field labels
- Every fillable form field has a label a screen reader can announce.
How we measured this
1.Crawl
We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.
2.Classify
Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.
3.Check a sample
We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.
4.Publish only with evidence
Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.
Limits of this method
- We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
- Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
- Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
- Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
- Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.
This page's evidence
- Crawled October 16, 2026: we fetched 1 pages from https://www.dhcd.org/ and found 1,738 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 45 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: October 16, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.
- How we crawl, classify and check documents
Plan the work before April 26, 2028
562 days is enough time to work through a backlog in stages, if the inventory starts now.
Where Desert Healthcare District should start
Start with patient forms, financial assistance applications and public notices.
Patients need these files to get care and financial help.
Usually owned by patient services, compliance staff and the board secretary.

Estimated cost with DocoMatic
$1,454 – $2,181
≈ 7,269 credits for 4,090 estimated pages
- 16 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
- 543 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
- 3,531 standard pages at Level 1
This is a directional estimate from crawler statistics, not a quote. Run the remediation cost calculator with your own page counts for a tailored figure.
What DocoMatic does
- Finds the PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files on your website and estimates the backlog.
- Fixes documents at three levels, from basic tagging to complex forms.
- Checks every fixed file, with veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation from Level 2 up.
- Human review: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team.
- Monitors your site so new documents don't rebuild the backlog.

Frequently asked questions
When is Desert Healthcare District's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2028. Desert Healthcare District is in the 2028 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).
How was Desert Healthcare District's deadline set?
Desert Healthcare District is a special district government, and the Census Bureau calculates no population for one. The rule gives every special district government the later date, whatever the size of the area it serves.
How many public documents does Desert Healthcare District have?
Our crawl on October 16, 2026 fetched 1 pages from https://www.dhcd.org/ and found at least 1,736 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 4,090 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Desert Healthcare District's documents pass accessibility checks?
14 of the 45 files we checked passed basic machine checks (31%). That is a sample of the 1,736 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Desert Healthcare District's documents?
Our directional estimate is $1,454 to $2,181 with DocoMatic: about 7,269 credits for 4,090 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Desert Healthcare District fix first?
Start with patient forms, financial assistance applications and public notices.
Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?
Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
