Texas BookShare Program Helps Improve Literacy

The Texas Medical Association’s Texas BookShare program helps improve literacy in underserved areas by giving free books to children. The program is funded by TMA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of TMA. Physicians, medical students, county medical societies and alliances use the TMA BookShare program to give books to kids in medical clinics, schools, and elsewhere. In this episode of TMA Health Beat physicians speak about the importance of health literacy and their experience reading books to children in schools.
