Healthy Roads Media (  <http://www.healthyroadsmedia.org/> www.healthyroadsmedia.org) has health information that focuses on low-literacy and non-English speaking populations.  Some of the materials are not written at a low reading level but almost everything is available in other formats (audio, multimedia and web-based video) to help provide health information access for hard to reach groups.

Is there a health information website like WebMD that is at an 8th-grade level? 

I know 6th-grade printed materials on specific health topics are available at some health websites, and some health websites have "Easy-To-Read" sections.  

I have contacted several literacy groups, but no one is aware of such a site.
