Health-Literacy logoServices in Health Literacy 

Health literacy is the use of a wide range of skills that improve the ability of people to act on information in order to live healthier lives. These skills include reading, writing, listening, speaking, numeracy, and critical analysis, as well as communication and interaction skills.
 
Health literacy allows the public and personnel working in all health-related contexts to find, understand, evaluate, communicate, and use information.
