Matt-
I highly recommend The Health Literacy Institute (
www.HealthLiteracyInstitute.net) held in Freeport, Maine.  I recently
attended the institute in June and found it to be a phenomenal learning
experience that provided me with a wealth of tools and resources.   Sue

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 2173] Health Literacy Conference


Hello,
  I was hoping someone could give me some information on any health
literacy conferences?  My organization will be hiring a new health
literacy staff member, and we would like to provide a training
opportunity for the position.  I work out of a county near St. Louis,
Missouri, so if there are any conferences in the Midwest that would be
great.  Really though, any health literacy conference would be fine,but
preferably have a date of early next year. Thanks for your help.
 
Thank you,
Matt
