How is Health Literacy For Our Good Health?
Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Health literacy is important for everyone because, at some point in our lives, we all need to be able to find, understand, and use health information and services. Taking care of our health is part of everyday life, not just when we visit a doctor, clinic, or hospital. Health literacy can help us prevent health problems and protect our health, as well as better manage those problems and unexpected situations that happen.
Nashville General Hospital Foundation Health Literacy Campaign - For Our Good Health is providing simple and easy to understand information sheets (see below) regarding health topics that are being passed on to our patients who visit The Food Pharmacy at NGH. The NGH Foundation is also including this information in our Food Pharmacy Outreach Program Food Totes delivered by volunteers to those who are living with food insufficiency. It is anticipated that more than 13,500 fliers will be share within a twelve month period.
