For the month of October 2013, Amplify Your Expertise is
celebrating health literacy sponsored by Helen Osborne and Health Literacy
Consulting. Health literacy is defined by the World Health Organization as “Health
Literacy has been defined as the cognitive and social skills which determine
the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand and use
information in ways which promote and maintain good health.” (WHO, 2013). On the health literacy consulting site you
will find podcasts, workshops, newsletter signup, and other items to use in
raising health literacy awareness. For information on health literacy consulting
contact www.healthliteracy.com or Helen@healthliteracy.com.
Henderson-Hughes Health Partners (H3P) is a health literacy
nonprofit organization and has the mission to break down barriers to healthcare
for communities. For H3P health literacy is more than giving pamphlets to the
community. H3P developed public health programs to help the community at large
obtain a better understanding of health topics to become self-sufficient in
making health care decisions. If you have any questions please contact H3P at hendersonhugheshealthpartners@gmail.com.
