Hi Everyone,

I'm passing on this message from Linda Johnston-Lloyd. (See below) The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) won an award for their free online Health Literacy Course:

Unified Health Communication 101: Addressing Health Literacy, Cultural Competency, and Limited English Proficiency 
http://www.hrsa.gov/healthliteracy/training.htm

I encourage health providers out there to give it a try, and promote this in your organizations. It takes about 5 hours of self-paced time and can qualify for these credits: CEU/CE, CHES, CME, CNE.

Spread the word!

Julie

Dear Colleagues,

Since you have an interest in health literacy and communication, I
thought you would like to know...

That the  HRSA Unified Health Communication Training Course wins

"National Association of Government Communicators (NAGC) awards

Congratulations to all who have contributed to the success of Unified
