Health Education and Literacy Organization (HELO)

 Are you interested in helping create low-literacy healthcare material? Join Health Education and Literacy Organization (HELO)!

Health literacy is the ability to read and understand basic health information. Our goal is to stop low literacy from being a barrier to good health. Our projects promote the accessibility of healthcare information in Gainesville and beyond. We also advocate and educate about health literacy in partnership with other organizations. Join us to help bridge this disparity! We hold monthly GBMs (Tuesdays at 6 pm) and our team meetings are scheduled at varying times based on the availability of members. Members can get volunteer hours, research opportunities, and plenty of avenues for leadership!

Take a look at our past projects on our website and follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@gatorhelo) for more information! Feel free to email gatorhelo@gmail.com with any questions.
