I am director of the Department of Health Education and Promotion of Clalit Health Services, Israel's largest health service organization. We are working to integrate the concept of health literacy into our health promotion efforts, and starting 2004, particualry among the elderly. I will be in Chicago from October 22 - 29 for a family event, and was wondering whether it would be possible to meet for a brief chat in order to learn more about what the AMA is doing regarding health education and promotion and health literacy, vis-a-vis the elderly, chronic patients and any other groups that the AMA is investing in. If this is at all possible ( in know that it is short notice), the best dates for me would be anytime on Monday the 27th or Tuesday the 28th. Would be grateful if you could inform me as to whether this is at all feasible, and if so, when would be the best time. Thanks so much and hope that your weekend is a good one, Diane Levin, MPH, CHES ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joanne Schwartzberg" <Joanne_Schwartzberg@ama-assn.org> To: "Multiple recipients of list" <nifl-health@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 8:01 PM Subject: [NIFL-HEALTH:4176] Re: > Our textbook, Understanding Health Literacy:Implications for Medicine > and Public Health, will indeed be published by American Medical > Association Press in Chicago, IL.
