The Pledge Program
About the Health Literacy Pledge Program
In 2022, Health Confianza piloted an innovative Health Literacy Pledge Program with 10 San Antonio organizations. Designed to support community-focused organizations to make health literacy changes, the ultimate goal of the pledge program is to increase health equity.
As part of the program, organizations undergo a baseline needs assessment to identify core areas of health literacy to improve, such as policies, practices, communication, and wayfinding. Each organization forms a team of Health Literacy Champions who participate in the learning collaborative to learn how to make organizational changes and achieve cultural and linguistic standards. With mentorship, they develop an Organizational Health Literacy Plan that outlines specific policy and practice changes. Upon completion of the Pledge Program, the organization earns a certificate and receives marketing materials to announce their commitment to improving health literacy.
