National Health Literacy Month

October is National Health Literacy Month. Health literacy focuses on ensuring health information easy to understand and making the health care system easier to navigate. Poor communication is one barrier to health literacy, and it can prevent people from accessing and understanding vital health information. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has guidance and tools to help make health information accurate, accessible and actionable.
