Thanks so much.  I mentioned this to our local mega-hospital system,
where we will soon be buddying up to do health literacy programming.
They were excited by the idea and probably would be interested in
purchase if they like the placemat.  I appreciate your help!

Carol,

It's been about 7 years since I worked with this educator who designed
the
placemat. I'll need to do some digging in my memory to remember her
name,
the details, etc., but I'll see what I can come up with.
