Observed each October, HLMonth is a time when health literacy advocates everywhere focus attention on the importance of understandable health information. Since HLMonth began in 1999, activities have been held across the US and in every continent around the world. I encourage you to get involved this year. You can participate in HLMonth in whatever way makes sense for you, your organization, and your community. For example, you can put health literacy on the agenda at your next department meeting. Or maybe arrange a meeting between health providers and literacy programs in your community. Regardless of what HLMonth activity you chose to do, please take a few minutes to post it on the HLMonth map. This map is an important tool to exchange ideas and experiences with health literacy colleagues around the world. To learn more about HLMonth and to post your event on the map, please visit the Health Literacy Month website at www.healthliteracymonth.com For questions and more information, you are welcome to contact me by e-mail at Helen@healthliteracy.com For HLMonth 2003, let's all communicate why health literacy matters! ~Helen Helen Osborne M.Ed., OTR/L President, Health Literacy Consulting - www.healthliteracy.com Founder and President, Health Literacy Month - www.healthliteracymonth.org Helen@healthliteracy.com 508-653-1199 (in MA) October is Health Literacy Month!
