Hello all,

An insurance company that is a client of mine wants to make a big difference
in health literacy. Beyond looking "in-house" at their own communications,
this insurance company is also inviting a number of organizations and
individuals to join them in a statewide initiative.

They asked me what other parts of the country have done or are doing on a
big scale like this. Naturally, I thought folks on NIFL-Health might know.
I'd like to hear what your state, region, or community is doing about health
literacy and learn about the successes and struggles of this initiative.

Of note, I am giving a presentation to this company on Saturday and so
appreciate a quick turn-around with your answer. Please either tell us all
by replying to this message or respond just to me at
helen@healthliteracy.com.

As always, thanks!
~Helen
