In honor of Health Literacy Month 2004, my October column will be a worldwide perspective of why health literacy matters. I welcome your help and invite you to share: * a brief statement about why health literacy matters in your setting * where you are located (country, state, province, ...) * a brief description of your setting (health center, literacy program, government initiative, rural, urban, ...) You are welcome to post your reply to NIFL-Health or contact me directly at helen@healthliteracy.com. I will assume that, by responding, you give permission for me to include your quote and edit as needed to fit within my format. Since I am nearly at deadline, please reply no later than July 30th. Of note, the full text of this On Call article (as my others) will be available on the Health Literacy Consulting website at www.healthliteracy.com As always, thanks NIFL-Health! ~Helen Helen Osborne M.Ed., OTR/L Health Literacy Consulting - www.healthliteracy.com Health Literacy Month - www.healthliteracymonth.org E-mail: Helen@healthliteracy.com Phone: 508-653-1199 31 Highland Street #201, Natick, MA 01760 Sign up for the free "What's New" e-list at www.healthliteracy.com
