Most people, when they hear the word “literacy” think of reading and writing. What other skills are needed to navigate our world? We need to be able to work with numbers and use computers or cell phones to manage our money. What about being able to read medicine label instructions or understand health information from your doctor? This is known as “health literacy”. Health literacy can also include finding and using health information and services on the internet. And knowing whether or not that information is accurate. By increasing your health literacy, your health and wellness will improve.
