Hello Nifl-health,

Thanks to Archie Willard, I was privileged to participate in the recent
conference,
"Health and  Literacy Working Together" organized by the New Readers of Iowa
and held in Des Moines, Iowa on September 10- 11, 2004.

Archie asked me to wear my writer's cap -- writing an article about what
health communication is like for people who are learning to read. You can
find this article, "Health and  Literacy Working Together: A Health Literacy
Conference
for New Readers & Health Professionals," at
http://www.healthliteracy.com/articles.html.

Archie and I are happy to share this article with you. In turn, we invite
you to share it with others. You are welcome to link to it or reprint it.
All we ask is that you use this tagline: "Reprinted with permission of Helen
Osborne and Archie Willard on behalf of
the New Readers of Iowa 2004 conference. To learn more, contact Osborne at
helen@healthliteracy.com or Willard at millard@goldfieldaccess.net"

Thanks for helping to spread the word,
~Helen
