My PNC/MLA presentation will provide an overview of the Peer Leader Navigator program, particularly the medical librarian’s role in the training curriculum, the program’s contribution to health literacy, and the ripple effect on connecting immigrant communities to health services in the diverse city of Anchorage.The Peer Leader Navigator (PLN) program was started in 2010 by The Anchorage Health Literacy Collaborative (TAHLC) and seeks to connect LEP individuals and communities to tools and resources to help inform their health decisions and behaviors. The PLNs serve as a cultural bridge for their communities as they help address the challenges of navigating complex health information, systems, and resources.
