Public Health Examples
Immunization clinics: Tables or shelving used to hold consent forms, vaccine information sheets, or giveaway items (such as stickers or after-care kits) are placed along accessible routes, with enough space for people using wheelchairs or scooters to approach them. While the materials may be on higher shelves, staff are available to assist as needed.
WIC or nutrition offices: Shelves displaying educational materials, brochures, or infant supplies are arranged so clients using mobility devices can reach the area and browse comfortably. At least one section of the service counter is lowered or designed to be accessible for clients checking in or asking questions.
Public health reception areas: Check-in counters include an accessible portion where clients using wheelchairs can communicate with staff, sign forms, or receive information without barriers.
Community health fairs: Booths operated by the health department ensure that tables, supply shelves, and giveaway items are positioned along accessible pathways. This allows people using mobility devices to approach, receive information, and participate fully in services.
Environmental health or permit offices: Service counters where community members submit applications or payments include an accessible section. Any public-facing shelves with forms or guidance materials are located in areas with enough clearance for mobility devices.
