Redefining Health Literacy: Breaking Barriers to Equitable Care
What if the key to better health outcomes wasn’t just access—but understanding? In this compelling episode, Christine Wilson, Vice President of Advocacy Communications and Marketing at Patient Advocate Foundation, challenges us to rethink what health literacy really means—and why it’s essential for equity in care.
Christine dives into how true health literacy goes beyond reading brochures or understanding medical jargon. It’s about creating two-way communication between patients and providers—where listening, empathy, and trust are at the core. Through powerful examples, she reveals how this approach can improve outcomes, especially for patients navigating systemic barriers and bias.
From implicit and explicit discrimination to the daily struggles BIPOC patients face in navigating the health care system, Christine offers both insight and action. Tune in to learn how we can dismantle communication barriers and move toward a more inclusive, patient-centered model of care.
