Our next radio session, Health Literacy - the basic questions to ask and where to find answers for them, will beTuesday, March 8th from 12:00pm to 1:00pm EST.
Summary:
Health literacy is the degree to which people gather, process, understand, and assimilate the basic health information and services they need to make reasonable health choices. Are we as a society really doing a good job with this? As well, do we, as consumers, need to understand all the “health lexicon” in order to consume health/healthcare? Hear from a panel of experts on this issue.
