The information and resources in this section are designed to assist the Health Educator and/or the Health Care Provider to plan, implement, maintain and evaluate a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary patient education program.

Attention Program planners!  Don't re-invent the wheel . . . it may have already been done.  Take some time to review the valuable materials in this section.

This section is to serve as a directory of website addresses that may be useful to anyone providing health education. We have included many culturally-specific sites. 

This section contains:  Indian-specific patient education resources; low-literacy information and resources; Indian-specific clip-art; graphics and photos; reference books; catalogs, etc.

We extend an open invitation to everyone who has developed patient education material to contribute to our clearinghouse of downloadable culturally-specific and/or low-literacy based patient education materials.

Please understand that anything submitted can be used and customized to suit the needs of individual programs and communities.

If you use someone's materials, we ask that you give credit to the author (including the program/Service Unit) on your customized product(s).
