Wisconsin Health Literacy Summit 2015
April 13 - 15, 20151 John Nolen Drive, Madison, WI 53703
Plan now to attend the 2015 Wisconsin Health Literacy Summit: “Better Health through Better Communication.” This conference will focus on how improved health communication can lead to better outcomes. This is increasingly important in the changing health care environment in which reimbursement is more closely tied to results and population health must be better managed.
Six plenary sessions, twenty-five breakout sessions, a poster presentation and networking opportunities provide attendees with the opportunity to learn more about health literacy and evidence-based interventions, as well as to network with experts and colleagues in the field from many states and some other countries.
Conference highlights
-Over 80 speakers coming will share the latest information on improving communications through health literacy
25 different breakout sessions allow you to match your interests with the right presentations
-A reception and poster presentation allows for networking with attendees and presenters involved in innovative communications and research projects.
-Two networking lunches are designed to help you find and connect with people doing what you are doing—or want to be doing
-Pre-Summit sessions on “Writing and Designing Effective Communications,” "Growing a Health Literacy Coalition: Tools to Move Forward” and “Health Literacy Starter Kit: Basic Information and Resources for the Newcomer” allow deep dive into these areas.
-Summit exhibitors provide information on resources to help you reach your organizational and personal goals.
-Social media activities add fun and learning in new ways.
