@lauriemyersHL @theIHLA @SommerConsults Thank you, Laurie – and thank you for always being such a committed partner in this critical calling. #HealthLiteracy

[William Stone @william_stone]

I'm happy to announce that I've been nominated to @theIHLA's Practice Standards Committee. Improving #HealthLiteracy for all is a core mission of @SommerConsults & close to my heart. If you're an IHLA member, I ask for your vote before the Dec 18 cutoff. https://t.co/daWtkdBSIL

#HealthLiteracyMonth may be over, but it’s important year-round. In that spirit, @SommerConsults has made their full archive of #HealthLiteracy articles available to you. https://t.co/n8wjAahGz2

@TheMaryFox Now I am going to search through Slack to see if I am the unnamed colleague! 😆

As #HealthLiteracyMonth comes to a close, I thought I'd reshare this thought, which post #COVID19 is more important than ever before:

#Healthliteracy #PlainLanguage

[William Stone @william_stone]

During #HealthLiteracyMonth and throughout the year it is important to remember that #WordsMatter.

#HealthLiteracy #PlainLanguage

[William Stone @william_stone]

Amplifying the #PatientVoice & promoting health communication as a shared patient/HCP effort is what @SommerConsults does every day. It’s my passion & privilege to have worked in that capacity on this research & in collaborating on this article. #HealthLiteracy

[Sommer Consulting @SommerConsults]

#HealthLiteracyMonth is almost here, and so it's a great time to keep talking about clarity in dr/pt communications.

@william_stone & Caren Karns —2 Sommer Consulting team members—and the rest of an amazing research team have this study out in #Quirks.

“#healthliteracy during a global #pandemic is the best vaccine.” Love this!

[William Stone @william_stone]

Promising news from @UniofOxford and @AstraZeneca regarding their #COVID19 #VaccineTrials.

#coronavirus #vaccine #VaccineForCorona

[University of Oxford @UniofOxford]

Oxford’s Covid-19 vaccine produces a good immune response, reveals new study.
Teams at @VaccineTrials and @OxfordVacGroup have found there were no safety concerns, and the vaccine stimulated strong immune responses: https://t.co/krqRzXMh7B

#Taiwan is less than 100 miles from China, the #coronavirus epicenter, yet on a per capita basis the US has 1200X as many #Covid_19 deaths. I'm interested in learning what they did to so effectively avert disaster. #COVID19

[Sommer Consulting @SommerConsults]

Planning to attend or watch the recording of @theIHLA's webinar next week to learn more about Taiwan's #COVID19 reponse?

They're offering a chance to submit twitter questions!

Thank you @harrisonmeyle for discussing the obscure similarities between #movie making & #marketresearch with me.

[Sommer Consulting @SommerConsults]

While we await #Hamilfilm on @Disneyplus tomorrow, how about a little @DisneyFrozen?

We recently spoke with @harrisonmeyle (Dialogue Supervisor, #Frozen2) on how sound connects audiences - whether at the movies or in #marketresearch.

I feel so fortunate to be involved in @SommerConsults' innovative research. Sommer Consulting researchers contributed to 3 of the last 5 IHA #HealthLiteracy Research-Award-winning projects (2016, 2018, and 2020).

Congrats to the Award winners in all the categories!

@SommerConsults knows communication only occurs when everyone does their part. #HealthLiteracy isn't just a patient responsibility. Join us @ the #IntellusWW Summit to further the conversation. #SommerSays

[William Stone @william_stone]

With the #COVID19 outbreak, both #FinancialLiteracy and #HealthLiteracy have never been more important. #SommerSays

[Sommer Consulting @SommerConsults]

#DYK that April is #FinancialLiteracyMonth?

In October, we spoke with Delaware State Treasurer (and former Physicians Assistant) @TreasurerDavis about the financial implications and impact of low #healthliteracy.

@birdsboroman @mizbryna @Arabella_SCx @angela_moroney @NuFloorHardwood @ger313 @JLK1979 @alfranken @AmandaGrabler @JormaKaukonen Ray Ban's official website in the U.S. is https://t.co/6HP66e7bmI. Is this site in the tweet legitimate?

[William Stone @william_stone]
