Health literacy is always an important component of education but has become even more crucial.

Embedding health literacy into adult education classrooms can provide students with the skills they need to navigate health systems. Join this professional development opportunity to examine tools and techniques for practitioners hoping to incorporate health literacy into their instruction.
