It is estimated that only 12% of the U.S. adult population is considered fully “health literate.” This means that almost 9 out of 10 adults are at or below basic levels of health literacy. They experience serious challenges understanding and using information to make informed decisions about their personal health. Unfortunately, those who experience poor health literacy are also more likely to experience poor health outcomes.

“Health Literacy for the Win” is a ready-to-go resource that can make a difference in your community. Join us for this free webinar to learn how you can bring the training to your area and improve the health literacy of the people you serve.
