Hi Everyone,

Well, it's been a very chatty October for us so far! (Lots of good
stuff!) And things have quieted enough for me to post a Wednesday
Question without clogging your mailboxes too much.

Many states have one or more health literacy activities going on, in
varying degrees of scope. But health literacy does not have any
overseeing organization to organize and share the work within each state
and among states. The adult literacy field has state directors, and
there is a department of public health in each state, along with many
other state-organized agencies that interact in various ways with health
literacy.

So my question is: If some kind of state organization were to help
coordinate the health literacy activities in each state and share with
other states, what kind of structure and support activities would be
helpful? I'm going to leave it very open, and would love to hear any
comments.

All the best,
Julie
