<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Health Insurance Literacy and How Librarians Can Help:</span></b><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> Libraries are prominent places in communities making libraries and librarians
excellent resources for advancing health information literacy. For example, librarians can address the unmet information needs that leave many unable to make appropriate health insurance choices. For those with lower levels of health insurance literacy, the
ability to procure appropriate levels of health insurance coverage may be limited, which can have dire effects on individuals’ health statuses. Emily Vardell, Assistant Professor in the School of Library and Information Management at Emporia State University
will be presenting on this PNR Rendezvous webinar session. October 16 at 1:00 p.m. PT.
