Hello NIFL-Health,

It is not too early to start thinking about Health Literacy Month. In fact,
these relatively quiet days are an ideal time to plan ahead how you will
raise awareness about the need for understandable health information.

To help with your planning, Dina Sherman (Health Literacy Month Coordinator)
and I are pleased to offer a free e-message from now through October,
"Countdown to Health Literacy Month." You can sign up by going to the Health
Literacy Month website, www.healthliteracymonth.org

One way I participate in Health Literacy Month is by highlighting health
literacy issues in my "In Other Words..." column published in the Boston
Globe's On Call magazine. This year, I would like to focus on "How Health
Literacy Helps." I welcome your stories, anecdotes, and thoughts about how
your health literacy interventions make a positive difference in health
promotion, prevention, and care. To learn more and share your experiences,
please
contact me directly at helen@healthliteracy.com

As always, thanks!
~Helen
