Make Your 2026 Health Literacy Pledge
This Health Literacy Month, make a public commitment to support clear, understandable, accessible, and inclusive health information and communication.
Your action can be big or small. You might use plain language more consistently, practice teach-back, improve patient or community resources, educate colleagues, host a Health Literacy Month activity, advocate for organizational change, or raise awareness within your network.
Whatever you choose, your commitment can help move health literacy forward.
Why take the pledge?
Making a pledge is an opportunity to turn awareness into action. Whether you use plain language, practice teach-back, or raise awareness in your networks, your commitment matters.
Who can pledge?
Everyone is welcome. No matter your background, your pledge can help advance health literacy. Organizations and teams are also invited to participate.
What happens next?
Your pledge will join commitments from across the health literacy community on the Pledge Wall. Explore what others are committing to and find inspiration for putting health literacy into action.
Privacy note: Your name, state, and organization (if provided) will automatically appear on the public Pledge Wall. Your email address will not be shared.
