The first annual Kentucky Health Literacy Summit brought together stakeholders from across the Commonwealth to discuss the very real issues related to health literacy in Kentucky. Health literacy is complex and needs to be approached from numerous directions. To that end, invitees included representatives from a variety of organizations that are in a position to successfully address the challenges of limited health literacy. These include leaders from healthcare, professional education, adult education/literacy, insurance, government, and nonprofit organizations. The objectives of the Summit were to: Raise awareness of the critical role that health literacy plays in health outcomes and health disparities. Lay the foundation for a strong, cohesive health literacy effort in Kentucky. Introduce new opportunities for collaboration among those working with health literacy. No one group or profession can solve the dilemma – it will take all of us working together for the betterment of the health of all Kentuckians. We need YOUR voice. The Health Literacy Kentucky Coalition will be forming. Join a standing committee and provide direction for health literacy in Kentucky.
