Healthcare social media is a moral obligation

Healthcare social media is a 'moral obligation', says Farris Timimi, M.D., medical director for the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media. Social media needs to be grown and nurtured for patients. "Our patients are there. Our moral obligation is to meet them where they're at and give them the information they need so they can seek recovery," Timimi said. "You've got to be ready for it. You build it for the patients; not for yourself. "This is not marketing," he added. "This is the right thing to do." http://goo.gl/BHzKf
