Here\u2019s what she touched on:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Health information is miscommunicated all the time, why October?<\/strong><br \/>Well, October has better weather and fewer religious holiday and events. Additionally, October brings awareness for many health outcomes and health-related topics, including breast cancer, HIV\/AIDs Awareness, National Medical Librarians and National Mental Health Awareness week. Lastly, October is soon before elections, so she figured this awareness would serve well for politicians to clearly communicate to their constituents and understand the dire need to address health literacy in the US.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Who is this month for?<\/strong><br \/>Originally it was geared toward healthcare professionals, then it was envisioned to include policy makers, community leaders and the general public. Health literacy knows no geographical grounds and is now celebrated worldwide!<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>What exactly happens during the month?<\/strong><br \/>Advocates and organizations work together to recognize the importance of making health information easy to understand and the healthcare system easier to navigate through trainings, workshops, and other events. There is no right or wrong way to celebrate health literacy awareness month!<br \/><br \/><\/li><\/ul><p><strong>A Call to Action<\/strong><\/p><p>Health literacy is now a central focus of Healthy People 2030.
