Today many adults have difficulty knowing how to find a physician, fill a prescription, use and pay for medications, and use health information to make informed decisions about their health.

Libraries are prominent places in communities - making libraries and librarians excellent resources for advancing health information literacy. For example, librarians can address the unmet information needs that make it difficult to make health insurance choices, particularly for seniors.

Addressing this critical information need, Emily Vardell, Ph.D., will explore the history of Medicare, health insurance coverage for older adults in the United States, and the complex Medicare system itself.

If you're interested but not able to attend the live webinar, go ahead and register. We'll send a recording to all registrants after the fact.

 

This webinar is presented by Niche Academy.
