Health Literacy Month: October 1-31, 2023

Building Health Literacy Awareness Through Action

For more than 20 years, October has been recognized as Health Literacy Month. Join us for this international observance when hospitals, health centers, literacy programs, libraries, social service agencies, businesses, professional associations, government agencies, consumer alliances, and many other groups work together to integrate and expand the mission of health literacy.

Health Literacy Month was founded in 1999 by Helen Osborne and is now brought to you by the Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA).
