Visit resource — leaves SkillRise ↗Health Literacy
Health systems have their own vocabulary. Being able to read an appointment letter, a label or a form — and knowing what to ask — is a practical skill, not medical knowledge.
SkillRise does not give medical diagnosis or treatment advice. These experiences are about reading, asking and navigating.
