Congratulations to Elizabeth Mann, MD (Assistant Professor, Division of Diabetes & Endocrinology), on being nominated for the Health Literacy Hero Award, which was part of UW Health’s observation of Health Literacy Month in October. The award recognizes individuals and teams who find health literacy problems and act to solve them. The individual who nominated her stated, “[Dr.] Mann does a wonderful job incorporating Health Literacy and Universal Precautions when she talks to children and their families who are hospitalized with a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. I have had multiple opportunities to observe her talk with families in the hospital both as a pediatric endocrine fellow, and now an attending physician. She understands the stress and strong emotions children and families are experiencing in this situation and tailors her conversations accordingly. She is skilled and natural at assessing how parents and children learn best, and meets them where they are. In my role as a diabetes educator in the AFCH learning center, it is a pleasure to work with Dr. Mann.”
