According to a 2022 Milken Institute Health Literacy Report, only 12% of Americans have proficient health literacy to find, understand, and use information and services to make informed health decisions. That means 88% of people need support and libraries can play a key role in improving public health through supporting health literacy. ConnectWell is an “all-in-one” digital health and wellness information resource that is science-based and designed for a consumer audience to engage people in their health and well-being.
