The Solution to
Low Health Literacy
HEAL Complete is a system that increases adults' knowledge of current healthcare topics, medical terminology, and standard processes and practices
The Problem
Low health literacy affects more adults than obesity, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and breast cancer combined
- National Assessment of Adult Literacy
Proven Success
The Schroeder Center for Health Policy at William & Mary
found that HEAL participants gained statistically significant knowledge and confidence in health topics.

“Low literacy is a barrier to good health, and we need more innovative programs like HEAL to help solve this problem. If you have a patient with low literacy, I recommend that you refer them to HEAL.”
