Health Literacy Month

Reflection

“All sectors of health—from public health to health care delivery to health policy—need to commit to meeting people where they are with health information that is easy to understand.”
–Brett P. Giroir

Prayer

Empowering God,

As we recognize Health Literacy Month this October, remind us that our work improving health literacy is a crucial way that we can honor the dignity of each person we have the privilege of serving. For all people deserve the chance to better understand, appreciate, and engage with information that is so relevant to their health and well-being. Inspire us, therefore, as health care professionals united in mission, to practice good communication and overcome barriers preventing patients and families and communities from being empowered in their decision making. As those called to bring good help to others, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take up the challenge of improving my own health literacy while helping others do the same.
