About
Healthcare is a
right.
The language barrier and gaps in health literacy serve as a source for major health disparities, preventing many people from receiving the healthcare they need. Let's change that.
Our Mission
Established in 2023, The Health Fluency Project aims to provide English language learners and their communities with the knowledge and resources to access and effectively navigate the healthcare system.
Through educational workshops, open-access written content, and partnerships with community-oriented health organizations, we seek to empower individuals to become fluent in the language of healthcare, empowering them to effectively communicate with their healthcare providers, now and into the future.
