Plenary: Coronavirus and Health Literacy/Health Equity: How Are We Responding?

Overview
The COVID-19 pandemic is upon us. How has the health literacy community responded? Have we taken a leadership role? Have we used our knowledge and skills to ensure clear, effective communication? Have we worked to reduce health disparities and advance health equity? When this pandemic is behind us—if it ever is—what will be our legacy?
