Virtual Conference Set for October 19-21, 2020
For the first time, health literacy professionals will be able to attend a single conference integrating research, practice, and policy. The Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA), the Horowitz Center for Health Literacy at the University of Maryland, and the producers of the Health Literacy Annual Research Conference (HARC) are teaming up for the virtual event, scheduled for October 19-21, 2020.

This virtual, integrated continuing education conference brings together two health literacy educational events-HARC and HLA:

equity

improvements arising from these insights.A Special Issue of Health Literacy Research and Practice, including presented abstracts, will be produced from this conference.
