Lumbee Health Literacy Initiative
A community-centered effort to strengthen health understanding, build trust, and connect Lumbee families with clear, practical resources for prevention, screening, care navigation, and whole-person well-being.
About the Initiative
Making health information easier to understand, use, and share.
Why this matters
Health literacy is more than reading a brochure. It means having information that is clear, respectful, culturally relevant, and connected to real-life decisions. Through this initiative, NMQF is working to support Lumbee communities in Lumberton and surrounding areas with practical education, local resources, and trusted pathways to care.
- ✓ Plain-language education on prevention, screening, early detection, and care access.
- ✓ Community-informed outreach that respects local voices, culture, and lived experience.
- ✓ Connections to public resources, local services, community events, and follow-up information.
