For Your Good Health
Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Health literacy is important for everyone because, at some point in our lives, we all need to be able to find, understand, and use health information and services. Taking care of our health is part of everyday life, not just when we visit a doctor, clinic, or hospital. Health literacy can help us prevent health problems and protect our health, as well as better manage those problems and unexpected situations that happen. Nashville General Hospital Foundation Health Literacy Campaign - For Your Good Health is providing simple and easy to understand resources regarding health topics that are being shared with members of our community..
