The Call for Posters is now open for the 14th Annual IHA Health Literacy Conference! Have you done work that addresses an issue related to health literacy?

And it's easy! Click here to read the poster guidelines. Click here to look at some videos of poster presenters.

This year, we are particularly interested in working with those of you who have never done a poster before. Have you implemented a program that met a need? Creating a poster has many benefits:

  • Helps build your resume 
  • Brings attention and prestige to your organization    
  • Provides your colleagues with potential solutions to similar issues    
  • Great  way to network with your health literacy colleagues For grant-funded projects, an excellent way to disseminate your results
