Navigating the health care system can be overwhelming. From choosing the right health insurance to finding a compatible provider or understanding complex medical terminology, making informed decisions about your health isn’t always easy.
That’s why October has been recognized as Health Literacy Month since 1999, highlighting the importance of making health information clear, accessible, and actionable.
Why is this so important? Because you are your own best health advocate. When you understand your health options, you can ask better questions, make informed choices, and take control of your well-being.
But don’t wait for October! Any time is the right time to become a more informed health consumer. Discover an NNLM Reading Club book and start the conversation today.
