    Abstract
    Purpose: This paper reports on the strategies and tactics medical librarians can use to address health literacy disparities in their health care facility and their community. Setting: Medical libraries with a consumer health collection. Brief Description: A patientâ s ability to understand basic medical information is critical to not only their ability to comprehend their diagnosis and follow treatment plans but also in maintaining their overall health. Hospital librarians are in a position to recognize those patients who may have health literacy issues. They can provide these patients with the health information they need as well as educate clinicians on how to ensure their patients understand the information they are providing.
