View Award Description

Health Equity And Literacy (HEAL) program - Health Equity and Literacy (HEAL) Las Vegas fosters organizational and individual health literacy through community based health education, health professional development, and coordinated messaging. The City of Las Vegas will work with partners to build organizational health literacy in primary care and community settings, particularly FQHCs, in communities of color. The proposed approach builds health literacy in FQHCs, and other publicly-funded community health centers by: engaging health clinic leadership so health literacy is integral to its mission, structure, and operations; integrating Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) into strategic and operational planning as well as quality improvement goals and measures; preparing healthcare staff to address health literacy issues and monitor progress; training for emergency preparedness crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic, and, building trust through effective health communications using the promotora or community health worker model. This effort will assess how: BIPOC are involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of health information and services; organizations meet the needs of the target population with a range of health literacy skills while avoiding stigmatization; health literacy strategies are incorporated in all communications and content.
