CRI partner Health Literacy Media launches new program – Clearly Communicating Clinical Trials (C3T)

Canyon Ranch Institute’s partner organization Health Literacy Media has launched an exciting new program to bring the best evidence-based practices of health literacy and plain language to clinical trials.

The goal of the new program, Clearly Communicating Clinical Trials (C3T), is to make complex health information from clinical trials understandable, relevant, and usable.

Clinical trials are research studies that follow strict rules. This scientific research can show what works best for different illnesses or groups of people. Everyone should be able to find, understand, evaluate, communicate, and use science to make informed health and health care decisions.

Learn more about C3T at www.C3T.media and about Health Literacy Media at www.healthliteracy.media.

You can also follow C3T on Twitter .

Tis that time of the year when we look back and are thankful for all the support given to Canyon Ranch Institute from our friends, donors, and partnering organizations. Thank you!

As the new year approaches, we are also looking forward to the continued success of the programs and partnerships that we have forged at Canyon Ranch Institute over the past decade. For example, participants in our Canyon Ranch Institute Life Enhancement Program experience, on average, depression levels dropping by half, exercise levels nearly doubling, cholesterol levels dropping, C-reactive protein levels (a marker of inflammation) lowering by 25%, nutrition behaviors improving dramatically, and health literacy increasing!

We hope you can offer continuing tax-deductible support for Canyon Ranch Institute this year.

Here’s a lovely feature from Connect Savannah about our CRI Healthy World Scholarship team from Savannah, GA, whose members are back at work refreshed and revitalized by their experience at Canyon Ranch in Tucson, AZ. Sharing knowledge and challenges with other teams from Chinle, AZ; Greenville, SC; and Wilkes County, NC, helped shape their strategy to improve the health and well-being of children through good nutrition.

Joining forces as C-Port Youth Empowered Savannah, the team was one of four awarded a scholarship to attend workshops and strategy sessions.
