Abstract	As the educational environment becomes increasingly diverse, adult educators are poised to serve as invaluable resources to adult learners, both as links to reliable health information and builders of skills. Health literacy skills are important tools that prepare learners to access, understand, and use information to make informed health decisions and to meet personal health goals. This article discusses the powerful role of adult education in addressing health literacy needs and provides ideas for action both at the systems level and classroom level. (Contains 1 table.)
