Health Literacy Month is observed every October and aims to highlight the importance of clear and accessible health information. Founded by Helen Osborne, this month-long event encourages various organizations, including hospitals and community groups, to improve health communication and reduce misunderstandings in healthcare settings. Activities during this observance include hosting health info fairs, organizing book clubs focused on simplifying health topics, and creating workshops on reading nutrition labels or understanding prescriptions. Additionally, social media campaigns are launched to spread awareness and engage the community in health literacy discussions. The overarching goal is to empower individuals to make informed health decisions and ultimately improve health outcomes for everyone.
