What Is Health Literacy?

Health literacy is a concept defined in the CDC’s Healthy People 2030 initiative. The ultimate focus is to give more people the power to discover and understand the information that allows them to make decisions about their health and wellness.

Equity is what health literacy is striving for in the bigger picture, ensuring that everyone from all walks has equal access to information. Part of that involves using plain, easy-to-understand language that doesn’t obfuscate (or confuse) the facts. We’re big proponents of this idea at Livingston County Chiropractic, and that’s why your doctor will speak to you in a way that’s straightforward and clear.

We want you to take good care of yourself, which means empowering you to make well-informed decisions about your health and wellness. Health literacy means being plain and direct about what is going on with your health and what options you have to address those issues. It also means making that information easy to find and interpret so that you can make your choices accordingly.

Once you’ve decided the course of action that is best for you, Livingston County Chiropractic & Weight Loss Center is ready and willing to help. We offer a variety of health and wellness services, including chiropractic care and our comprehensive Whole Body Medical Wellness program. We can also help you access health and wellness products like natural supplements, Young Living essential oils, and more.
