Five Reasons You Should Get Connected to GRMC

Right now you might be asking yourself, why on Earth would I follow my hospital on Pinterest…or Facebook…or even a blog.

There are many good reasons why. We’ve narrowed it down to five:

1)  Health info from a trusted source. Let’s face it, we are bombarded with information daily and it is overwhelming to know what’s important and what isn’t. Let us do the sorting for you. Did you know that GRMC is one of the nation’s top rural hospitals? It’s true! National organizations such as The Dartmouth University Atlas of Healthcare, Consumer Reports, and The Leapfrog Group all rate GRMC as one of the nation’s finest hospitals.

2) What’s going on @GRMC? We are constantly working on improving the patient experience, recruiting new healthcare providers, offering new services, and upgrading equipment. We want GRMC to be your first choice for healthcare.

3)   Keeping you informed at critical times. Hospitals on the east coast recently wrote about using social media during this winter’s huge blizzard. They were able to work with public safety to inform the community about potential health issues in case of power outages and making sure that those who need medications had adequate supply to see them through being snowed in for a few days. At GRMC, we’ve used social media to get the word out about precautions for this year’s flu season, visitor restrictions, and more. We’ll keep you informed with the latest information.

4)   Keeping you OUT of the hospital. Sounds a little backward, but GRMC wants you to stay well, no matter what. Follow us for the latest in wellness and fitness offerings through GRMC. Tips from our health coach, personal fitness trainers, dietitians, and physical and occupational therapists—we’ve got the local experts right here.

5)   When you need medical care, we are here for you. The nation’s top hospitals do not reach that level without an extraordinary healthcare team of professionals and support staff. Learn about the wide array of services provided right here at GRMC from some of the finest providers anywhere.

There are so many ways to stay connected to GRMC. You get to choose how. Email through Constant Contact, Pinterest, Facebook, Google+, and traditional media such as local newspapers and radio. Choose one, choose two or three, or choose them all. You make it your own.

GRMC – we are here for you.
