Hi NIFL-Health,

We're in the last week of Health Literacy Month 2009. Here's today's story:

October 26. "New Readers as Health Literacy Advocates and Resources." Don McCormick is a public health communicator who knows the power of a good story. Often, health literacy stories come from adults who only recently learned to read. He writes about how the New Readers of Iowa are helping to change the way health care providers and public health professionals communicate. http://www.healthliteracy.com/hlm_article.asp?PageID=9141

These stories are intended to help raise awareness and inspire action. How are you using Health Literacy Month stories? Please let me know by replying to this NIFL-Health posting or contacting me directly at helen at healthliteracy.com
