Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. New OMH Blog for Health Equity! Addressing Community Health Literacy to Improve COVID-19 Health Outcomes   With low health literacy levels leaving many people susceptible to dangerous COVID-19 misinformation and disinformation–especially racial and ethnic minority groups and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities– the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health (OMH) recognizes the need for critical health information to be accessible to all people. In a blog post published on October 27, 2022, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health and Director of the HHS Office of Minority Health, Rear Admiral Felicia Collins, M.D, M.P.H., highlights the Stronger Partnership, Stronger Community: Using Health Literacy to Increase Resilience (Stronger2) project funded by OMH's Advancing Health Literacy to Enhance Equitable Community Responses to COVID-19 (AHL) initiative. Read on OMH's Blog for Health Equity about how Stronger2 is improving health literacy and increasing the use of COVID-19 services and public health information among local African American, African, and Hispanic communities in Fairfax County, Virginia.
