Conference<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you,</DIV>
