In honor of October being a time to formally recognize the importance of health literacy, the Governor has declared October 2023 as Health Literacy Month in Wisconsin. Although certain groups are at a higher risk of experiencing health literacy issues, all people can experience health literacy challenges. Celebrate Health Literacy Month by taking steps to incorporate health literacy into your work:
· Measure your hospital or clinic’s organizational health literacy
· Integrate health literacy into curricula for health professionals
· Organize training on health literacy best practices for staff
· Incorporate health and health literacy topics into adult literacy programs
