Thanks Julie,
One thing that strikes me is that it is not obvious from any of these sites how adult educators are part of the programs. It may just not be described well but what I am looking for are examples where ABLE/ESOL educators, programs, organizations are partnered with health providers, programs, organizations. I think there is a need to have such collaboration and I am trying to document cases where this has occurred. Did I miss something with the sites on the Wiki?
Thanks,
Ian

Ian, I agree about the usefulness of this list. I have started one on the Adult Literacy Education Wiki (ALE Wiki) on its health literacy page, but have not added new ones for a while. If you get a list with descriptions, I would be happy to put the new additions up there. In the meantime, you can go to it and see if you have the ones listed so far. You can find it at:
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Health_Literacy
Look in "Promising Practices". They are not all collaborations, but most of them are.
I hope we hear of more new ones!

Hello everyone,
In preparation for the upcoming Focus on Basics issue on Health Literacy I would like to put together a listing of as many examples of collaborative projects in which adult educators or adult education organizations are partners/collaborators with medical providers, health system, or medical organization as I can identify. If you could forward me any leads on this with a description of the nature of the collaboration and any description on web sites and publications (they are not necessary - just if it exists) that would be great.
I think a loist of these types f programs would be very helpful to this developing field.
Thanks,
