​PRIMARY COLORS
  •  Use of the primary color palette will enhance the impact of the HLAA brand. Consistent use of this color palette will make our materials more recognizable and uniform. It provides a strong visual link across a wide range of applications.
  • Purple  Hex # 564087
  • Orange Hex # e45c30
  • Green Hex # 6b9340


​SECONDARY COLORS
  • The secondary color palette should be used to provide an accent or to add a highlight.
  • Avoid using these colors as the dominant color field.
  • In most communications the primary colors should dominate.
  • Gray Hex # 646569
  • Yellow Hex # f1d282

​Health care organizations (HCOs) are required by federal laws, including the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), to provide patients with disabilities accommodations to ensure that they receive equitable health care services. ​Health care accommodations for persons with hearing loss might include aids such as personal amplification devices, as well as strategies such as having doctors and nurses face the patient while they are speaking. Unfortunately, these accommodations often are not provided during patient’s visits.  Read more here
