The Saint Barnabas Health Care System has joined the social networking site Facebook in an effort to better engage employees, physicians, patients and the general public. The new Facebook site provides easy access to information about the Saint Barnabas Health Care System and all of our affiliates.
The Saint Barnabas Health Care System Facebook fan page includes links to photos, videos, general information, press releases, special events, news and activities from throughout the System. It is an interactive forum for health related topics and information.
Last year the Saint Barnabas Health Care System launched its Twitter site, and continues to post tweets to our followers on a whole host of health topics, news and information.
Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have grown exponentially in the past year and provide an additional avenue to promote our hospitals and educate the public on programs and services, news and events. Research shows that the more interactive dialog people have about health related information, the more interest and credibility they have in it. With Facebook and Twitter, the Saint Barnabas Health Care System can reach even more people than traditional media outlets alone.
We encourage everyone to become a fan of our Saint Barnabas Health Care System Facebook site, and to follow us on Twitter.
