Health feels more manageable when we understand it.

Learning about your care and medicine makes hard health moments easier. When a professional teaches you something about your health, that counts as health education, and it helps you make informed choices about your medical care.

This week’s Weekly Watch also looks at brain games that may help keep your mind sharp, what the new SNAP eligibility and Medicaid rules mean for recipients, whether chatbots can be “poisoned” by fake facts, and why soap and water work better than hand sanitizer.
