Health Literacy Summit

Thank you for attending the 2019 Wisconsin Health Literacy Summit.  

The respected experts in the field took us beyond our everyday discussions and broaden our scope on health literacy. From community health to academia, literacy to communication, and many other professions, the summit theme focused on "a sharper view through the lens of health literacy".
