Hi All.
 
Does anyone know a way to create a happy medium?  A larger font  size would 
be great for older readers but sadly, can humiliate other  users.  I have seen 
this happen.

Matt -  


I like the font size - for elders in particular and for those whose  reading 
difficulties have to do with eyesight, your font size seems about  right. It 
is for me, at any rate - at my advanced age! 


Also, our medical facility recommends a sans-serif font for its  
publications, as the serifs occasionally "blur" the image of the words and  make the text 
appear too dense.

Colleagues,
  We just developed a health literacy portion on our website for  the 
Jefferson County Health Department.  This is one of the first steps  in the first 
effort to improve health literacy in our county, and to serve  as positive models 
and resources for other counties to follow. I would  greatly appreciate it if 
you could take the time to view the health literacy  portion that I just 
developed and provide any and all positive or negative  feedback concerning the 
site.  The link will take you to the health  literacy homepage of our website, 
with links on the left to our health  literacy page for patients, providers, 
and public health professionals, as  well as a resource page.  I hope this site 
can serve as a resource to  you and I look forward to hearing your comments 
regarding the health  literacy site.  The website is:
