Understanding Health Literacy: Why It Matters for You and Your Community Online
Health literacy goes beyond reading ability—it's about understanding and using health information to make informed decisions. This webinar explores what health literacy is, why it’s essential for both individuals and communities, and how low health literacy can affect access to care, health outcomes, and overall wellbeing.
Learn how you can become a more informed health advocate for yourself and those around you.
