Community Outreach
Digital Community Outreach-Health Literacy

When organizations share information with people that is too hard to understand, it creates a health literacy problem.

Health literacy can help us find, understand, and use health information to prevent health problems.
-
Digital communication tools, including mobile health apps, telemedicine and online health information resources, have emerged as powerful platforms for promoting and improving health literacy leading to better health outcomes.
