Abstract
Since Healthy People 1980, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) has set 10-year targets from evidence-based recommendations to improve health, lessen health disparities and achieve health equity for all citizens of the United States. Healthy People 2030 brings a strong focus to health literacy. This column will highlight these health literacy features and suggests ways health sciences librarians and consumer health sciences librarians can work within their organizations and partner with community organizations to reach those goals.
