[Anchasl-l] health literacy presentation

[Christie Silbajoris]

Please forgive cross postings--

Archie Willard was a featured speaker at a recent conference, “Health 
and Literacy Working Together: A Health Literacy Conference for New 
Readers & Health Professionals,” in Des Moines, Iowa. It brought 
together adults who are learning to read and health providers (doctors, 
nurses, public health specialists, and others who communicate health 
information) to find ways to improve health understanding. Here is a pdf 
file describing the conference:

I am happy to report that Mr. Willard has agreed to give us a 
presentation on his perspective as an adult learner regarding health 
literacy matters. Mr. Willard will speak at the UNC-Chapel Hill Health 
Sciences Library on Feb. 9th from 12:30 - 2:00 in the 5th floor 
conference room. Registration is strongly encouraged. Go to:

Please come and listen to his important message.

Thank you,
