Thanks for following LifeBridge Health's blog. We want to provide the residents of Northwest Baltimore - and beyond - with timely and useful health news, so let us know what interests you.
In that spirit, please check out our Twitter page. My colleague, Holly Hosler, started Twittering on Jan. 14. As of Feb. 19, LBHealth had 111 followers, only 8 of which are internal.
Nearly all of our followers discovered the account on their own; we’ve done nothing to publicize it (until now) aside from putting a “Twitter” icon on our homepage.
We use the account primarily to spread news that is useful to our followers, such as:
* the dates of free LifeBridge Health screenings and lectures
* health tips and online health tools like knowyournumbersBaltimore.com
* blood drive announcements
* links to this blog, which also covers health topics
Twitter is receiving a lot of media attention right now, just as Facebook was a year ago. According to researchers for the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 11 percent of online Americans now use Twitter and the median age of a Twitter user is 31.
So check us out today!
