Health information, simplified.

Let’s simplify your message, lead your audience to act, and make your material easier to read.

Words should not get in the way of good health.

I use:

  • health behavior theory to motivate your audience

  • plain language to make sure your message is easily understood

  • inclusive language that reflects and respects your audience

  • design tips that make content easy to read

  • Why is this important?

    The average adult in the U.S. reads at an 8th grade level.

  • Why is this important?

    9 out of 10 adults in the U.S. struggle to find, understand, and use health information.

  • Why is this important?

    All patients, regardless of education or literacy skill, prefer clear communication.

    (Sudore et al., 2007, Davis et al., 1998)
