Health Literacy - a hot topic in your community?

Hello friends, We've had several family literacy programs on health topics over the past couple of years, most recently on the subject of children and other family members with asthma. It seems now that health literacy is a hotter topic than ever among hospitals, community organizations, etc. Has anyone else noticed this in their communities? Have you participated in health literacy programs, summits, etc. with community organizations, funders, or the like? Please comment and let us know what you have been doing - I think it would be interesting to share experiences.
