The Digit-ILL team from Western Illinois University will host a free Online Health Literacy training session on Tuesday, February 10th, from 6:00 – 7:00 PM at the Odell Public Library [307 S. Madison St., Morrison, IL]. Registration is not required and the program is open to all. The session aims to help community members understand how technology can serve better health management.
During the training, participants will learn how to locate and navigate credible online health resources and use personal health records (PHRs) to organize their medical information, which improves healthcare outcomes.
Access to reliable online health information can be empowering. It enables individuals to research conditions, connect with support groups, and—when needed—interact anonymously with healthcare professionals. These benefits can be especially valuable for people who face stigma or feel uncomfortable seeking support in person.
Despite these advantages, many at-risk populations still face barriers to digital health information, including advanced age, socioeconomic challenges, literacy limitations, geographic isolation, and cultural factors. The Digit-ILL Online Health Literacy Campaign was created to address these disparities and expand access to essential digital resources.
Digit-ILL is part of the READY Broadband Program, a statewide initiative in Illinois focused on promoting digital equity for all residents.
