Health Literacy
We kicked it off in grand style with our first state wide conference on Health Literacy. Jari Askins welcomed literacy and health representatives from across the state. She spoke about her experience in the communications field learning how to use language that is understood across communities. There were terrific break-out sessions to learn about plain language principles, but we also rolled up our sleeves and went to work editing and recreating medical literature. We will be sharing with you the results of that work throughout the month along with resources that we develop and find. Here are some interesting resources for you to explore.
