Collaboratively Designing a Health Literacy Curriculum

In this episode of GridgeFridge, we are joined by Amy Liang, a junior at UW–Madison and a Wisconsin Idea Fellow working in partnership with the Literacy Network of Dane County. Amy’s fellowship project focuses on improving health literacy for immigrant and ESL communities in Madison.

Through tailored workshops offered in English, Spanish, and Hmong, Amy’s work helps people learn how to navigate healthcare systems, understand medical instructions, and access local resources, giving them confidence and freedom in spaces that often feel inaccessible.
