The Birdsong Health Literacy Center of Excellence

Small Business Education: Recognizing that social determinants of health - such as access to reliable health information, financial stability, and preventive care - are foundational to business success, BHLCOE focuses on equipping small businesses with the tools to thrive in an evolving economic landscape. BHLCOE provides direct training to health literacy ambassadors and contributes health literacy content, provides subject matter experts for speaking engagements, and offers mentorship and strategic input to members of the community. These efforts are designed to help entrepreneurs better understand the connection between health literacy and economic resilience, empowering them to make informed decisions that support both personal well-being and business sustainability.
