SARASOTA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL REACHES OUT TO SARASOTA & BEYOND
Kudos to hospital administrators for embracing and budgeting for a social media program. That’s rare with big business, let alone hospitals.
Unfortunately, many decision makers don’t “get” the Internet and how the Internet works BETTER than the telephone or TV…and much cheaper. Many don’t see how social media can make $$$. Let’s face it. It’s business.
Now, people interested in angioplasty for heart attack patients or new treatments for sleep apnea can click over to the hospital’s YouTube channel to watch videos illustrating and explaining medical tests and procedures.

Sarasota Memorial Hospital utilizes technology to educate, comfort & better interact with people.
In Sarasota Memorial’s Winter 2010 edition of “SMH Today,” Peter Taylor, Director of Marketing @ Sarasota Memorial, indicates ” People crave access to helpful, accurate and fast information – social media provides a convenient forum to provide just that.”
This is Sarasota. It’s not just a Sarasota Realtor embracing social media. It’s hospitals too! Awesome….
Do you wonder what all this social media gibberish is all about and why/how businesses are (trying to) get on board?

Sarasota Memorial Hospital (see www.smh.com) steps into the 21st Century, deploying a solid social media program benefiting all of us in or around Sarasota. Without doubt, we are blessed to have TWO wonderful hospitals (Doctors Hospital in east Sarasota right off Cattlemen Road). One Sarasota hospital clearly gets it about providing VALUE to people, not just patients, outside the hospital’s four walls.
