Hi NIFL-Health,

I'm at a health literacy meeting and hearing quite a buzz about this
month's storytelling project. Please share (with this list or just me)
what you think of our Health Literacy Month stories and how you are
using them. Here's today's story:

October 30. "Health Education: Who’s the Expert Here?" Randi Kant has
worked for many years promoting healthy behaviors among older adults.
Her definition of health literacy has grown to include an individual’s
understanding of the day-to-day health behaviors crucial for good
health. She looks for ways to help clients realize they are in the
"driver's seat" of their own health.
