The 2023 event will feature renowned speakers and thought leaders who will share their expertise and innovative approaches to tackling health literacy challenges. Through keynote addresses and panel discussions, participants will have the chance to exchange ideas, collaborate, and promote actionable strategies for improving health literacy across the nation.

It has been over 10 years since the National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy, yet no major system’s approach to addressing health literacy has been enacted.
To date, elements of health literacy are found in the 2010 Plain Writing and Patient Protection and Affordable Care Acts and the 2018 revision to the U.S. Common Rule. 1 Some federal agencies have established strategic plans and guidance documents that include health literacy. In order to meet the Healthy People 2030 objectives, reduce healthcare expenditures, and increase patient safety, education, satisfaction, and health promotion, we need policymaker and healthcare leadership support.
Members of the press are invited to attend
This is an excellent opportunity to engage with expert speakers, access the latest research and resources, and interview key thought leaders in the field of health literacy.
