Who We Are
Almost half of Americans have limited health literacy and that's when they feel fine. When people are sick, scared, or worried about a loved one, understanding health information gets even harder. This leads to worse outcomes, more emergency visits, and higher costs.
HealthEd 4 Everyone creates free health education resources that help people understand, manage, and advocate for their health.
Most health websites list symptoms or side effects. We take a different approach: explaining what that information means, what people can do about it, and how to talk to their doctor. Our resources address both medical conditions and healthcare system navigation from preparing for appointments to knowing when something is an emergency.
We build materials using research from health communication, psychology, education, and user design. All guides are physician-reviewed and improved based on user feedback.
HealthEd is physician-led, patient-focused, and committed to keeping everything free and accessible.
What We Do
We make webpages, pamphlets, videos, interactive tools, and social media posts designed to help everyone:
- Understand their body, health, & medical care
- Decide what's right for them
- Communicate with their healthcare team
- Navigate the medical system
- Advocate for themselves & loved ones
