Literacy for Life designed the innovative HEAL Program in 2012 to address the critical issue of low health literacy in the greater Williamsburg community, drawing on its expertise as a premier adult literacy organization with a 40-year track record.
HEAL Classes may also include a field trip to a local hospital or guest speakers from the medical community.
The HEAL curriculum has three tiers—basic, intermediate, and advanced—for learners at different literacy levels. The basic tier may be appropriate for a recent immigrant who knows and understands very little English, and the advanced tier may be appropriate for a native English speaker who faces some literacy challenges.
