Health literacy is directly connected to a patient’s health outcomes.  Many people find it difficult to read, comprehend, and implement the health information and advice given to them. The reasons are varied but commonly can be the use of medical terminology unfamiliar to the general public creates barriers to understanding your diagnosis and treatment options, medicines, and procedures which diminishes your confidence to make informed health decisions for yourself and your family.

This initiative aims to bridge the communication gap between healthcare providers and patients in a confidential setting that assists you in focusing on making "well-informed" decisions rather than "appropriate" ones regarding your health in an informal format. 

Do you have medical questions about illnesses, diagnoses, test results, etc. that you want to understand better? Dr. Scott Dunbar, M.D., parishioner, who retired from medical practice in Florida as an Internist specializing in Oncology and Hematology, wants to help. "I always enjoyed educating my patients and their families about diagnosis and treatments and I would love to help you."
