Advancing Health Literacy to Enhance Equitable Community Responses to COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that blanket approaches to healthcare are largely ineffective in reaching vulnerable populations. The pandemic’s unpredictility requires healthcare workers to act effectively with the tools they already have at hand. Health Literacy is one of those tools.

The City of Milwaukee Office of African American Affairs and The Milwaukee Advancing Health Literacy (AHL) Partnership* is offering free training in health literacy best practices, racial equity, and public health communication strategies. These trainings are for health care providers who serve vulnerable populations and emphasize Health People 2030 goals of checking understanding, involving the patient in decision-making, and building communication skills.
