The Institute of Medicine’s Roundtable on Health Literacy (at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) will be hosting an all-day meeting on health literacy this October. The event, titled “Integrating Health Literacy, Cultural, Competency, and Language Access Services”, will take place from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM CST on Monday, October 19, and will be webcast live from the Beckman Center in Irvine, California. The focus of the meeting will be on the health-literacy needs of various groups, ranging from health providers and patients, to the broader communities that health systems serve. Solutions to the problem of integrating literacy services across these various constituencies will be discussed.
