Multidisciplinary Conference on Health Literacy, Literacy Across the Health Continuum -
   by the CUNY Institute for Health Equity
 
Wed., March 10, 3:00 - 8:00 PM
Thurs., March 11, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
SEIU 32BJ Headquarters, 101 Avenue of the Americas, Manhattan
(SW corner of 6th Ave. and Grand St.; 1 block from the A, C, E, and 1 Canal St. Stations)

The theme of the conference is health literacy across the health continuum: multidisciplinary
perspectives.  The purpose of the conference is to bring together varied disciplines from the
health and health care fields to gain a multidisciplinary perspective on the growing importance
of health literacy, the current research and practice, and policy issues.  Additionally, we
would like to stimulate greater attention to the issues within our own "backyard".  Thus far
there is some work in progress in the New York region, but with a university system as large
as ours, in a city with as many major medical centers as we have, we need to address the issue
in a more informed and integrated manner.  Therefore, it is our expectation that a conference
with such highly-regarded experts will be the vehicle for moving the issue forward and
enhancing the work currently in progress.

Sponsors: CUNY Institute for Health Equity, Aetna Foundation; Office of the University Dean for
