12-part Health Literacy series in the Des Moines Register
HEALTH LITERACY: The key to being an
empowered patient, decisive proxy or engaged provider. 1.10.2018 by Johannah

Today
marks the first installment of my 12-part series, Health Literacy 101, in the Des Moines Register. I'm
grateful to the Register editorial staff for the opportunity to share
this valuable content on how to become an empowered patient, decisive health
care proxy or more engaged health care professional.
The first installment is background on how medical decision making has morphed
over the past four decades. Going forward, some of the key elements of health
literacy I'll be covering are how to access reliable information, choosing a
provider and watching out for polypharmacy (sorry, but you'll just have to
read Installment #8 to learn what that is).
Thanks for taking the time to become more health literate. Salute!
