Health Literacy First

Health Literacy First is a project funded by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services. Its primary purpose is to lead target groups--native speakers of English who have reading/writing challenges and early ELL (English Language Learning) students or candidates--to useful consumer-health information.

However, the general public--Delaware Countians in particular--will find a variety of useful health tips and resources in both the presentation and website links shown below.
