Health Literacy Month

October is health literacy month for health organizations, literacy programs, libraries, social service agencies, business, professionals associations and government agencies (Office of Minority Health, 2023).

Healthy People 2030, is an initiative that addresses the health disparities for equity, and to improve health literacy for all including individuals and organizations (Healthy People 2030).

You can do your part by taking care of yourself and others by eating well and increasing your exercise. Take this time to increase your personal health literacy about prevention, health and wellness or any chronic disease that you may have.

Stay well, this is the only body you have.
