Figuring out health information can be tough for parents. To help clear things up about the link between pain meds and autism, we turned to local pediatrician and mom, Dr. Rachel Pearson.

These quotes are from a recent op-ed she wrote for the San Antonio Express News called, "Parents deserve honest, evidence-based communication when it comes to autism."

As we wrap up , we'd like to highlight three more organizations who have taken the Health Literacy Pledge. And hear in their own words why they wanted to participate in the Pledge Program:⁠

Ariel Gomez, manager, Academic Programs, AHEC

The South Central Area Health Education Center (AHEC) joined the Pledge Program to enhance our understanding of health literacy and to learn best practices for creating effective health materials—both for internal use and for the diverse communities we serve.

Siomara Salazar, director of Social Services, Madonna Center

What we truly yearn to gain from the Health Confianza Pledge program is a profound understanding of the invaluable resources available to our beloved community in Bexar County. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for everyone.

Albert Ruiz, executive director, TIPHER

As a public health organization, we understand that health literacy is a vital component of a great community. From our partners to our annual health summits, we are excited to integrate health literacy into every aspect of our organization through the Pledge Program.
