Operation Wellness Literacy (OWL) is a health literacy learning academy designed to help individuals build the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to find, understand, evaluate, and use health information throughout life. OWL provides age-appropriate learning experiences for youth, adults, mature adults, and organizations.
Our youth‑centered health literacy initiative is designed to help children, teens, and families build lifelong wellness skills through clear, accessible, evidence‑based education.
OWL provides learning opportunities for learners at different ages and stages of life, including school-aged youth, adults, seniors, and healthcare professionals. Programs include OWL Cadets, Explorers, Navigators, Ambassadors, Voyagers, Age Well, and Health Pro, together supporting learners across the lifespan. OWL also provides opportunities for schools, families, employers, healthcare organizations, community organizations, and other groups to incorporate health literacy into their programs and initiatives.
OWL serves children, teens, parents, educators, and community partners. Programs are structured by developmental level to ensure age‑appropriate learning.
The OWL Lifespan Framework provides age-appropriate health literacy and wellness experiences across six stages: Cadets, Explorers, Navigators, Ambassadors, Voyagers, and Age Well. Each stage is designed to address the evolving needs, abilities, and health decisions associated with different periods of life.
While not a general OWL Lifespan stage, OWL Health Pro helps clinicians and healthcare teams strengthen the skills needed to make health information clear, meaningful, and actionable for the people they serve. Missions can reinforce patient-centered communication, health literacy, shared decision-making, cultural humility, advocacy, and effective connection to resources.
OWL provides a progressive health literacy journey for multiple life stages:
Programs are designed to be developmentally appropriate and relevant to the needs and experiences of each age group.
No. Each OWL program can be implemented independently. Schools, organizations, and individuals can select the program that best fits their learners, participants, or community. For example, a school may implement OWL Explorers without first purchasing or completing OWL Cadets. Organization may purchase any preferred stand-alone levels that fit their needs.
In simple terms, health literacy is knowing where to find health information, understanding what it means, and feeling confident enough to use it to make healthy choices.
Health literacy involves the ability to communicate, understand, evaluate, and use health information and services to make informed decisions and take meaningful action to achieve best overall health. OWL helps learners build these skills through practical, age-appropriate learning experiences.
It involves more than simply knowing health facts. Health literacy helps people:
OWL Health Pro helps clinicians and healthcare teams strengthen the skills needed to make health information clear, meaningful, and actionable for the people they serve.
OWL encourages health professionals to look beyond simply providing information and focus on whether patients understand, feel heard, can participate in decisions, and know what to do next.
For health professionals, OWL transforms health literacy from a concept into a patient-centered practice.
Help professionals communicate better. Help patients understand more. Help everyone move toward better health outcomes.
Yes. All content is grounded in public health science, nursing practice, and national health literacy standards to ensure accuracy and trustworthiness.
No. Health literacy extends beyond the doctor’s office. OWL addresses the everyday knowledge and skills people need to make decisions related to wellness, prevention, nutrition, physical activity, mental well-being, safety, relationships, healthcare, resources, and healthy living.
No. OWL is an educational health literacy program. It is not a healthcare provider and does not diagnose, treat, or provide individualized medical advice. Participants should consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding personal medical questions, diagnoses, or treatment decisions.
Yes. OWL can be used by community organizations, cities, counties, and other population-health partners seeking to improve health literacy, engagement, resource awareness, and wellness outcomes within the communities they serve.
Schools, clinics, churches, youth programs, and local organizations can collaborate to integrate curriculum or co‑create community health literacy initiatives.
OWL can be incorporated into group education, employee wellness, community engagement, senior programs, health promotion initiatives, and other organizational offerings, depending on the selected program and licensing arrangement.
While OWL is not specifically a religious curriculum, it is designed to be compatible with Christian schools and values‑based education environments that prioritize whole health and wellness. Faith-based institutions can also include OWL in wellness initiatives.
The goal of OWL is to help people become more informed, confident, connected, and empowered to take action for their health and well-being, while helping organizations and communities create environments that support better health outcomes.
Our mission says it all: To build lifelong health literacy by equipping individuals at every age and stage of life with the skills and understanding needed to make informed health decisions, practice daily wellness, and achieve optimal health outcomes.
Oscar™ is the wellness guide and face of OWL. Oscar leads participants through educational missions that encourage learning, exploration, informed decision-making, healthy behaviors, resource awareness, and meaningful engagement.
Oscar grows with the participant. His appearance, communication style, activities, and educational missions are adapted to the OWL level purchased, helping ensure that the experience remains age-appropriate and relevant. Oscar represents the curiosity, knowledge, and confidence that empower people to make informed decisions and take meaningful action.
Oscar’s educational missions are interactive learning experiences focused on health literacy and wellness. Depending on the participant’s stage, missions may address healthy habits, prevention, decision-making, communication, healthcare navigation, self-advocacy, healthy aging, and community engagement.
He helps bring health literacy to life by guiding learners through age-appropriate health and wellness topics, encouraging curiosity, asking questions, and making informed choices.
While his role and presentation may evolve to connect with learners at different stages of life, his purpose remains the same: to help make health literacy engaging, understandable, and meaningful.
Schools can purchase group access to applicable OWL programs and incorporate health literacy learning into existing wellness, health education, enrichment, or student-support initiatives. OWL is designed to help create health and wellness curriculum as well as complement educational efforts by providing engaging learning experiences, video lessons, teaching guides, and resources that support educators.
OWL offers lesson plans, visuals, activities, and discussion guides that educators can integrate into health, science, or advisory periods.
OWL youth programs are designed with consideration for age-appropriate health education concepts and can support schools as they develop or strengthen health and wellness learning. The programs may be aligned with relevant health education standards and frameworks, including the National Health Education Standards, while also considering applicable state and local educational expectations such as Florida’s CPALMS standards.
Depending on the program and access model, schools and organizations may receive group participant access, engaging video lessons, teaching or facilitation guides, learning activities, and resources to support implementation. Access options can be structured to help organizations incorporate OWL into existing educational, wellness, or community initiatives.
OWL goes beyond simply providing health information. It emphasizes the ability to understand, evaluate, communicate, apply, and act on information. Through Oscar’s educational missions and the lifespan framework, learning becomes interactive, practical, and connected to real-life decisions.
OWL blends evidence‑based public health principles with engaging visuals, storytelling, and real‑world scenarios. Every lesson is designed to be accessible, culturally aware, and easy to apply in daily life.
No. While several OWL programs are designed for school-age learners, OWL is a lifespan health literacy academy. OWL Voyagers and OWL Age Well are designed for adults and mature adults, with applications for individuals, employers, community organizations, healthcare organizations, and programs serving older adults.
Yes. OWL provides opportunities for individual participation in programs designed for appropriate life stages. Individual participants can enroll in available OWL experiences based on their age or life stage. Participants can select the level that best fits their current needs and interests.
Families may also benefit from health literacy learning experiences that support conversations, informed decision-making, and healthy habits at home. OWL includes family‑friendly guides, conversation starters, and practical tools to help parents reinforce healthy habits at home.
Employers and organizations can incorporate OWL into employee wellness, health education, professional development, or broader well-being initiatives. The program can help participants strengthen practical health literacy skills that support informed decision-making and everyday wellness.
OWL Age Well can be incorporated into senior wellness, education, engagement, and community programs. It may be relevant for senior centers, organizations serving older adults, healthcare and wellness organizations, Medicare health insurance plans, city and county governments, and community initiatives seeking to strengthen health literacy and engagement.
Organizational offerings can be designed around the population and goals being served. Tailoring programs is one of the things OWL does best.
Organizations may be able to incorporate OWL into existing health education, wellness, employee engagement, or community initiatives. Available implementation options may vary based on the organization, population served, program goals, and selected OWL offering. Email connect@owlbewell.com to begin discussion on a plan that will work for your organization or initiative.
OWL is informed by key health literacy principles that emphasize helping people find, understand, and use health information and services to support informed decisions and actions. OWL also recognizes that organizations can play an important role in making health information and learning experiences clear, accessible, understandable, and actionable.
The learning design reflects CDC guidance for older adults, particularly making information understandable, accessible, trusted, self-directed, and actionable. OWL is centered on capability, confidence, independence, connection, and continued growth rather than age-related limitations.
OWL is designed to provide flexible learning access through an online academy model. Depending on the program, participants may engage with video lessons, guided learning experiences, activities, teaching or facilitation resources, and other educational materials.
OWL is built with universal design principles: clear language, visual supports, inclusive examples, and adaptable formats.
OWL may be applicable to Medicare health plans and other organizations serving older adults as a health literacy, wellness, education, engagement, and resource-support offering. Specific implementation would depend on the organization’s goals, population, and program requirements.
OWL Age Well focuses on practical skills that can help mature adults find and understand health information, navigate healthcare and community resources, communicate questions and needs, make informed decisions, maintain independence, and remain engaged in their communities.
Schools, organizations, and community groups can explore the OWL programs available for their learners or populations and select the program that best fits their goals. Group access options can support implementation across schools, workplaces, healthcare settings, senior programs, and community initiatives.
