  • Low to no cost, bilingual, plant-forward nutrition and food skills education programs, tools, resources, and support
  • Healthcare and community health worker training, and

About Health Literacy Month
Health Literacy Month puts awareness into action! According to the Institute for Healthcare Advancement, health literacy is how well a person can find, understand, and use information and services to make decisions about their own health and the health of others as well as how well organizations equitably help all people find, understand, and use information and services to make decisions about their own health and others. Greater health literacy helps us overcome barriers and challenges that may result in harm. By collectively working to improve health literacy, we’ll create a more equitable world where everyone can access high-quality care and achieve positive health outcomes.
