About this course

Successful aging hinges on effective communication and navigating the healthcare system. This includes understanding medication, managing chronic conditions (like diabetes or heart disease), and accessing necessary services. Poor health literacy leads to poorer health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Improved health literacy empowers older adults to make informed decisions, promoting better well-being. This impacts patient safety and quality of life. Let's work together to improve health literacy for this vulnerable population. Explore our resources to learn more and get involved.
