Health Literacy What does it mean to be health literate? Health literacy is the complex interplay of knowing how and where to find health information, understanding that information, and knowing how to use that information to make sound health decisions for yourself and your family.
While we're not doctors and can not (will not!) give you medical advice, librarians can help you find and evaluate information resources. Keep an eye out for programs all this month that will help you deep-dive into different health-related information and activities. |
