The Health Literacy Foundation

Munster, Indiana

Cause Description:
The Health Literacy Foundation was established by in 2003 by a group of Public Health and Medical Professionals to help medically vulnerable and underserved populations gain access to the most reliable and relevant health information and materials, as well as provide education on how to participate in treatment plans and navigate a complex health system. The Health Literacy Foundation not only acts as a clearinghouse that features the most up-to-date health information, we strive to ensure that the content is easy to read and both culturally and gender sensitive. The Foundation funds potential health literacy initiatives, partners with community-based organizations to leverage resources, builds coalitions, and connects beneficiaries with the resources that they may not otherwise have access to. We collaborate with both Corporate sponsors and other non-profit organizations that share the same mission and vision--to serve dispossessed populations across the nation, including diverse ethnic minorities, the elderly, and children.
