I feel sure I have seen the answer to this question posted here before, but
my computer hard drive crashed, and all the posts with such useful info. in
them I'd saved are gone!

What is your favorite definition of "health literacy"?  My organization is
working with the idea of using the term as part of our mission/vision
statement and organizational goals, and are trying to find the best way to
articulate the meaning clearly for non-professionals.

Thanks!
Donna
