To tell us more about health literacy we welcome Dr. Lisa Yazel. Dr. Yazel is a Community Health Improvement Manager at Franciscan Health. Dr. Yazel has a doctorate in health education and over 20 years of experience in community and public health.

We’re also joined by Dr. Carolyn Shue. Dr. Shue is a communications professor at Ball State and currently serves as the department chair in communication studies. Her research centers on low health literacy and patient-physician communication.
