Hi Everyone,

I am working on a new Health Literacy Toolkit and am looking for ideas
on what resources you all would like to see in it. It will be online,
and include practical resources for these kinds of activities:
* addressing health literacy in adult literacy programs and classes
* forming collaborations between health systems and adult literacy
programs
* jumpstarting a health literacy initiative

It will be mostly for adult literacy professional development, but the
resources will also be useful to health care/health education agencies.

Examples of what it will include are:
* curricula
* stories of promising practices in ABE/Health Care collaboration
* research articles
* funding ideas

Please send me your ideas so I can make sure this will fill some real
needs!

Thanks all,
Julie
