This presentation reframes health literacy as an organizational and structural responsibility — a matter of how health systems are designed, rather than a skill DDBHH people do or do not have. Presenters from the Center of Deaf Health Excellence will map the social determinants of health specific to the DDBHH community and highlight the role of ASL-fluent community health navigators in helping people find, understand, and use health information.
