Health Literacy Missouri

Abstract

As approved by the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) Board of Directors in 2006, Health Literacy Missouri (HLM) envisions a future in which the policies and practices of Missouri institutions and the public promote understanding of health and medical information, informed decision-making, health-enhancing actions, and improved health outcomes. MFH committed five years of funding to this effort with a vision to become a national leader in health literacy.
