Plenary: Organizational Health Literacy: Where Are We and Where Are We Going?

Description: Organizational Health Literacy is crucial to improving health equity. Inequity is largely driven by structural barriers (e.g., racism, sexism). We must improve how systems create access to, understanding of, and use of information and services for all. Health and social organizations attend to core human needs, such as housing, food access, education, and employment. This panel will provide a brief overview of organizational health literacy (OHL) in multiple arenas and offer ideas for next steps and innovations in research, policy, and practice.

Objectives:

1. Understand basic information about organizational health literacy. 

2. Identity at least 2 ways organizational health literacy can be implemented in their workplace.
