Promoting Health Literacy Month this October

The CPEN Health Literacy Committee has compiled some resources to help you promote Health Literacy Month at your organization this October. We ask that you acknowledge the source of the information in your campaigns, either using ‘adapted from‘ (if you modify it), or ‘compiled/developed by’ if you use the resource as is.

We hope this helps everyone promote such an important month.
