Health Literacy Month

October is Health Literacy Month–a time for healthcare professionals and organizations to promote the importance of health information that is easy to understand and use.

During Health Literacy Month, you can:

• Engage your staff:
  • Take the #PlainPledge and encourage others to do so. To learn more click here.
  • Share tips about clear health communication. Click here for talking points.
  • Join a free, live webinar to learn more about the importance of health literacy and how you can practice clear health communication to benefit your patients and community. Click here for more information.
• Use social media to tell your patients and your community that you care about them and want to do all you can to communicate well with them. To join us:
  • Follow us on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn).
  • Share our posts on your own social media pages throughout the month.
