The last day of October marks the end of Health Literacy Month — but health literacy continues to be a Healthy People 2030 priority area.
Increasing health literacy is key to improving the health and well-being of all people. Healthy People 2030 addresses not just personal health literacy but also organizational health literacy, acknowledging that organizations have an important role to play in making sure people can find, understand, and use health information.
