“From a public health perspective, we know working to improve health literacy can ultimately improve health equity; an investment in one is an investment in the other,” remarked Amanda Krupa, MSc, AHIMA Foundation Director. “And with so many dedicated healthcare professionals working to make a difference in this space, we hope this blog offers an outlet for them to share those ‘wins’ with each other through case studies, storytelling, and advocacy.”

“Large-scale social change requires cross-sector partnerships among the public, business, and nonprofit sectors,” said Anisa Tootla, MBA, AHIMA Foundation Executive Director. “We applaud those who’ve already stepped up and collaborated with our organization on this important Health Literacy for Health Equity initiative and invite others to get involved.”  

Housed on AHIMA Foundation’s website, www.ahimafoundation.org, the Health Literacy for Health Equity Insights blog content is cross-promoted on social media and included in e-mail marketing to AHIMA’s members – health information professionals who work with health data for more than one billion patient visits each year.
