Hello NIFL-Health,

October 2004 will be the 5th annual Health Literacy Month! It's no too early
(nor too late) to begin planning how you will get involved this year.

As you may know, Health Literacy Month (HLMonth) is a grassroots event. This
means that you can participate in whatever ways make sense to you, your
organization, and your community. Feel free to be creative and perhaps even
whimsical -- just make sure that your HLMonth event highlights the
importance of understandable health information.

To learn more, I encourage you to visit the HLMonth website at
www.healthliteracymonth.org. You'll find many valuable resources there
including HLMonth FAQ's, health literacy facts, sample materials from other
events, and a downloadable HLMonth logo.

While you're at the website, please make sure to also visit the HLMonth map
where you can see what others have done or are planning to do this year.
Please add your HLMonth event to the map. In honor of our 5th anniversary,
let's aim to have HLMonth events in an record-setting number of states,
provinces, countries, and continents!

Get involved in HLMonth 2004!
Together, we can make a difference,
~Helen
