Abstract

In 2004, a community health outreach partnership, funded by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), was launched. HIPS, Health Information Partners, promoted health literacy and health advocacy for residents of Washington, D.C., who frequented the area community health centers. This poster explores the goals, strategies, and results of the HIPS program.
