October is Health Literacy Month! At PAN, we envision a future where equitable, accessible healthcare is a reality for all and we're working to make this a reality through our education initiatives. As an independent nonprofit organization, our education content is patient-centered, unbiased, and tailored to support health literacy. To help you tailor your communication with patients, we encourage you to visit the education center on our website to explore topics that are often hard to explain and even more challenging for patients to navigate, including recent Medicare Part D reforms, clinical trials, the federal Extra Help program, alternative funding programs, and copay accumulators.
