Florida Blue awarded Santa Rosa Adult School a health literacy grant to provide health instruction in the adult ESOL program. Instruction will be delivered through the Staying Healthy: An English Learner’s Guide to Health Care and Healthy Living curriculum. Low health literacy is linked to an increased rate of disease and mortality and linguistic barriers have been identified as a key contributor to low health literacy. Florida Blue’s generous donation will help provide the education needed for English language students to live healthier lives.
