This short episode (25 minutes) is especially timely as we just observed Health Literacy Month (October), which is a global initiative dedicated to improving health communication and fostering better health outcomes.

Tonight, you’ll be listening to an episode of the Health Literacy Out Loud podcast featuring Dr. Cliff Coleman, a physician and internationally recognized expert in health literacy. The podcast is hosted by Helen Osborne, who originally founded Health Literacy Month. The episode delves into the importance of health literacy in healthcare communication.

Here’s what to focus on as you listen:

Health Information Equity: Understand what it is, why it’s crucial, and who it impacts the most.
Strategies for Communication: Learn how to apply effective communication strategies both in daily interactions and at a policy level.
The Future of Health Literacy: Consider why health information equity is critical now and in the future.
