Each year, representatives from employer groups, unions and Taft-   Hartley trust funds are invited to attend a half day symposium at Rush    University Medical Center. Health benefits experts and nationally    recognized thought leaders share information on a current topic of    interest.

Health Literacy: turning health knowledge into wealth
Rush Health’ Fifth Annual Employer Symposium - July 17, 2008

Good Health means wealth: more personal wealth for employees who stay well and use their health benefits wisely, and improved financial performance for companies with a healthy workforce. Wellness and health consumerism are built upon a foundation of health literacy. Knowing and understanding basic health information is key for employees to make good health decisions.

• What basic health literacy skills do all employees need?
• What are employers doing to promote health literacy?
• What are the trusted sources for health information?
• What free or low cost resources are available for employers
   to promote health literacy?
