The Podcast: Get Social Health is a podcast about social media and how it’s being used to help hospitals, medical practices, healthcare practitioners and patients connect and engage via social media. Get Social Health presents conversations with professionals actively working in the field and provides real-life examples of healthcare social media in action.

As a career marketing and businesswoman, I have a strong appreciation of the power of social media. My goal is for Get Social Health to encourage healthcare systems and physician practices to enter social media and begin engaging with patients, community, and practitioners.
