Toolkit: Building Health Literacy Awareness Through Action

For more than 20 years, October has been recognized as Health Literacy Month. Health Literacy Month was founded in 1999 by Helen Osborne and is now brought to you by the Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA).

By collectively working to improve health literacy, we’ll create a more equitable world where everyone can access high-quality care and achieve positive health outcomes. The IHA offers these communication tools to help you take action during Health Literacy Month. Use these resources on your digital and social media channels to build health literacy awareness and encourage others to take action and use the hashtag #healthliteracymonth.
