The Healthcare Literacy Council of Contra Costa County aims to address health care usage challenges through a public education campaign. This initiative is focused on assisting residents, particularly Medicare and Medi-Cal enrollees, in navigating the complex health care system. The pilot program will begin in the fall across several locations. Training will also be provided to college students who will teach health care literacy classes to various community groups. The council aims to reduce patient anxiety and improve overall health outcomes within the community.
The newly launched Healthcare Literacy Council of Contra Costa County is leading a public education campaign to help people make better use of their health coverage, avoid unnecessary emergency room visits and get the care they need more affordably and effectively.
The council's education program will equip residents of the easternmost part of Contra Costa County with the information they need to become more confident, informed health care consumers.
We've come together as a council to address this challenge and offer residents the support and information they need to navigate this complexity and make wise decisions that protect both their health and their pocketbooks.
The council envisions far-reaching impacts – reduced patient anxiety, a healthier workforce, and improved overall community well-being.
