Dear friend,
In October, we celebrate Health Literacy Month. This month serves as a reminder of the invaluable role that knowledge and understanding play in our health and well-being.Β
Health literacy refers to our ability to access, understand, and use information and services related to health and health care. Access to easily understandable health resources empowers us to make informed decisions about our well-being.
Our team uses health literacy best practices to develop the Together by St. Judeβ’ online resource. You can grow your health literacy by exploring together.stjude.org, following us on Facebook, and reading the featured stories below.Β
We are happy to share we have added Polish to our language offering, bringing our number of supported languages to 12.Β Use the language selector on the top-right corner of the screen to switch languages.Β
With a commitment to knowledge and well-being,
Daniel Bastardo Blanco, PhD
Manager,Β Together by St. Judeβ’
