Health Literacy Month Resources for Home and Classroom

For some, the scariest thing in October is not Halloween, but Health Literacy Month - the time when many employees must not only opt-in to their insurance plans, but also catch up on vaccinations and think about preventative care. Don't let the American health care system frighten you! Increase your health literacy by using tools like our Infobase Health Reference Center to read up on the latest and most reliable information regarding medical issues.
