🎃 A little HLM Halloween history! From Sam’s legendary hotdog costume to office costumes, candy, and plenty of creativity, we’ve always known how to have some fun around here. 👻 #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia #HealthLiteracy #HappyHalloween

🔄 Using familiar words helps make health information easier to understand. #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #HealthyLungMonth #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

🎄Here's a look back at good folks, and fond memories from our 2014 HLM Holiday party! #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia

🔄 In clinical research, “trial” can be a clearer way to describe an interventional study. Clearer language helps more people understand clinical research. #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

🎉We love celebrating our people at HLM! Here's a look back at some sweet wedding memories. #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia

🔄 Swapping "additional" for "more" helps keep a message clear for folks. #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

🚗 From traveling to the 2011 Wisconsin Health Literacy Summit to presenting about health literacy in Jefferson City, MO in 2015, here are a couple of fun HLM memories from road trips past! @WisconsinLiteracy #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia @WisconsinHealt1

🔄 Keep it simple when you can! “And” is shorter and clearer than "As well as." #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

🗓️ Some memories from HLM's location at the @DowntownTREX building in downtown St. Louis! #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia

📅 Health literacy knows no borders! 🌎 In 2024, HLM President and CEO, Catina, and HLM Director of Digital Media & Strategy, Candra, joined colleagues from around the world at the #IHLA Global Health Literacy Summit in Rotterdam to connect, learn, and celebrate the global health literacy community. #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia #HealthLiteracy

🔄 Sometimes you can say the same thing with fewer words like swapping “in order to” for “to.” #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

📅 2017 was the year we made a video about numeracy with kittens in it, and we're not sad about it! You can watch this blast from the past here: bit.ly/4jL2lhE #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracy #Numeracy

🔄 “Use” is shorter, simpler, and easier to understand than "Utilize." #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthyLungMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

😎 Remember the eclipse of 2017? HLM celebrated it in style! #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia #2017Eclipse

🔄 Shorter, simpler, clearer! Swap “carried out” for the more familiar “did.” #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

❤️ A little HLM love through the years! From our 2019 employee appreciation party to Valentine’s Day fun in 2025, we’ve always found a reason to celebrate the people who make HLM special. #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia #HealthLiteracy

🔄 “Approximately” can sound formal and confusing. Try “about” instead—it’s shorter and easier to understand. #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

📅 Looking back at 2016! HLM brought health literacy professionals together for our annual Health Literacy Missouri and #HealthLiteracyKansas summits, creating space to connect, learn, and share ideas. 💙 #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia #KauffmanFoundationConferenceCenter

🔄 “Risk factors” may not be clear to everyone. Explaining what you mean instead, like saying “things that raise your chance of,” makes your message more understandable (even though it's longer!) #HealthLiteracyMonth #PlainLanguage #PlainLanguageWordSwap #HealthLiteracy

📅 Another look at 2015! HLM staff and partners came together to help kick off health insurance marketplace open enrollment and share information about health insurance access. 💙 #ALookBack #HealthLiteracyMonth #HealthLiteracyMedia #CoverMissouriCoalition #CommunityCatalyst @covermissouri
