Welcome to California Hospitals Online, a listing of all California hospitals with a social media presence. The development and rapid growth of social media and its adoption by hospitals and other health care entities is a vital and potentially revolutionary aspect of health care in the 21st century. Whether a hospital is posting videos on YouTube; chatting with consumers and donors on Twitter or communicating with a broader community through the blogosphere, these social media activities are changing and being changed by consumers and their growing demand for transparency and immediate access to information.
As we address the changing nature of health care and, as a society, begin to look once again at health care reform, it is important that hospitals and the health care industry in general not be dragged into the discussion, but be an active part of it. Toward that end, a social media presence is mandatory for every hospital in this state and the country.
This site was created and is maintained by Wide Angle Communications as a service to hospitals, physicians, clinics, associations, legislators, media outlets and consumers throughout the state. Our goal is to track and publish all social media outlets being used by hospitals in the state of California. If we have missed a posting by your hospital or if you know of a blog, Facebook page, Twitter account or other social media tool being used by a hospital or hospital system in the state that is not listed here, please comment below or let us know directly.
