However, HLP does do well. >>> <jewel.mosley@highmark.com> 08/01 3:53 PM >>> The Health Literacy Program is currently being called "HLP". It will serve economically and academically disadvantaged adults. The intent is to expose the participants to low-level health materials and tools that will assist them in developing skills to becoming comfortable in navigating the health care system, communicating with health care providers and understanding medical instructions. The participant will be taught to seek health information and resources, interpret and understand this information and use it to enhance their health. I hope this additional information helps. Would certainly appreciate help in naming the program.
