POSTPONED DUE TO THE IOWA WINTER        THAT REFUSES TO END!

We are sorry to announce that the unrelenting nasty weather we affectionately refer to as Winter in Iowa has caused the postponement of this seminar. It's always a bit risky to schedule a March event, but seriously--who would have thought we'd be in for so much cold and snow??

Stay tuned for a rescheduling of this seminar. And visit www.HealthLiteracy101.com for further information. Thank you for your support!

Our Program

Join attorney and author Jo Kline for this first-of-its-kind seminar on being a Power Patient! Health Literacy is having the tools needed to make informed choices as patients and caregivers. And the fundamentals of health literacy apply in any health care situation, from scheduling an annual checkup to tracking medications, from managing an acute or chronic condition to hiring a home health aide, and from choosing a pediatrician to accepting the need for hospice care. 

We'll cover the history of medical decision making in America and the modern challenges to managing care and interacting with providers. Then Jo Kline will share the real nuts-and-bolts of being a Power Patient: the Three Building Blocks of Health Literacy and the Top Ten Fundamentals of Health Literacy. Bring your questions--we'll have Q&A!

No note-taking required--you'll get handouts with all the seminar key messages and a lot more, as well as a copy of Jo's book, THE 60-MINUTE GUIDE TO HEALTH LITERACY.
