Everyone Deserves to Understand Their Health
We’re building a movement to break down language barriers in healthcare across Florida communities.
Our Mission
The Florida Health Literacy Project believes that language should never be a barrier to good health. We’re launching a new initiative to work alongside communities across Central Florida, ensuring every person – regardless of education, language, or background – can understand and act on health information that affects their lives.
Every day, millions of Floridians struggle with medical forms, prescription instructions, and healthcare decisions not because they lack intelligence, but because the system wasn’t designed for them. We’re here to change that.
The Challenge We’re Addressing
Our Approach
We believe lasting change happens when communities lead the way. That’s why we’re:
Starting with listening
Learning from families about their real challenges with health information
Building with, not for
Partnering with trusted community organizations who know their neighborhoods best
Making it accessible
Ensuring all materials and workshops are available in plain language and Spanish
Measuring what matters
Tracking real improvements in health understanding, not just attendance numbers
What We’re Building
Community Workshops
We’re developing free health education workshops to bring directly to neighborhoods, churches, and community centers. In comfortable settings with trusted neighbors, participants will learn to navigate healthcare with confidence.
Clear Language Tools
We’re creating systems to transform complicated medical information into clear, simple language available in both English and Spanish, ensuring no family is left behind.
Community Partnerships
We’re connecting with local health departments, clinics, and community organizations to help them better serve the families who need them most.

The Florida Health Literacy Project is a newly launched nonprofit initiative founded by someone who has seen firsthand how confusing healthcare can be for families facing language and cultural barriers. With a background in healthcare analytics and deep roots in Central Florida’s diverse communities, our founder is bringing together technology, community wisdom, and human connection to tackle this critical challenge.
