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 Helen Osborne M.Ed., OTR/L Health Literacy Consulting, http://www.healthliteracy.com Health Literacy Month, http://www.healthliteracymonth.org Health Literacy Out Loud, http://www.healthliteracyoutloud.com E-mail: Helen@healthliteracy.com Phone: 508-653-1199 31 Highland Street #201, Natick, MA 01760 Subscribe to the free "What's New" elist at www.healthliteracy.com
