Hello all,
1. As part of a broader effort that Canyon Ranch Institute (www.canyonranchinstitute.org) is leading in Savannah, Georgia - a local publication, Connect Savannah, has launched a weekly series focusing on various issues related to health and wellness – and health literacy. A variety of authors are contributing to this effort. See www.connectsavannah.com. If you search on "Canyon Ranch Institute" I believe you'll be able to peruse most if not all of the articles to date. The series will continue into the future so check back weekly for the most recent article.
2. The Institute of Medicine recently released a brief discussion paper addressing health literacy. See http://www.iom.edu/Global/Perspectives/2014/HealthLitFable.aspx?utm_source=Hootsuite&utm_medium=Dashboard&utm_campaign=SentviaHootsuite
Best wishes,
Andrew
