Examining Online Health Information - 30 minutes
Finding reliable health information online is like a treasure hunt. How do we know what is true and what is false? Wilkes Literacy will equip you with tools to find safe, reliable online health information. We will study websites and news articles together to determine what is real, what is a scam, and what online health information is biased to get you buy certain products. Join us as we work towards better personal health by building knowledge of online health information.
Time for Health: Making the Most Out of Your Healthcare Provider Visit - 30 minutes
Do you feel like you don’t have enough time to discuss your concerns during your healthcare provider visit? A 2017 survey from The Physicians Foundation reported that only 11 percent of patients and 14 percent of physicians feel they have all the time they need together during appointments. How do patients make the most of the limited time with their healthcare providers? Wilkes Literacy will equip you with tools and strategies to ensure that your healthcare visits focus on your major questions and concerns. We will introduce practical strategies that will save you time each visit, which will leave you more time to talk with your provider.
