Social media for health can help clarify habits for wellness. Patients can check in on WHY and HOW to follow through on their physician recommending they “get out and walk” or make lifestyle choices. Social media also gives physicians, patients, and researchers from diverse areas access to information via medical societies & journals. At HeartHealthDocs we have shared links to sites that have great information – written for patients or anyone who wants to learn more.

Julie France talked to me for her article in Columbus CEO Magazine’s August issue. Her article Social Media: Healthy Addiction is about physicians on social media, posted here on hearthealthdocs, and shared on Twitter where the hashtag #FF means Follow Friday , in this case for Heart and Circulatory Wellness — @drannealbers
