The Patient Financial and Insurance Health Literacy Program is an innovative collaboration between the CSUN Institute for Community Health and Wellbeing, Departments of Health Sciences, and Family and Consumer Sciences. This transformative initiative is designed to enlighten and empower the local Spanish-speaking community, fostering a healthier and more informed future.
The primary objective is to educate the local Spanish-speaking community on the vital aspects of patient financial and insurance health literacy. Knowledge is the key to empowerment, and through targeted educational initiatives, this program aims to provide the tools necessary for individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare.
In collaboration with the San Fernando Community Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), the Institute hosts engaging workshops tailored to the specific needs of the Spanish-speaking community. These workshops, conducted by experts from the Institute, will provide practical insights and valuable information, ensuring that community members are equipped to navigate the complexities of patient financial and insurance health literacy.
