Western Missouri Medical Center has launched a health information blog to support the organization’s mission of being the community’s partner for health, according to a press release.
The health information blog, located at WMMC.com/blog, will feature posts provided by local experts on a variety of services provided by the medical center.
“We understand that overall health doesn’t just happen in your doctor’s office,” said Tara Carlyle, System Director of Communications and Development. “It happens in your everyday lifestyle choices and it is our mission, as your partner for health, to support you in making the right decisions.”
The blog is the newest addition to WMMC’s website, revamped in fall 2017, to be more user-friendly and provide opportunities for digital growth, according to the release.
The blog will provide health information, in-depth understanding of medical services, up-to-date information on current healthcare trends and exclusive information on what is happening in the area’s medical community.
“This blog enables our patients to connect with their healthcare providers like never before,” said Carlyle. “Expert content will be available at the click of a button, directly from our community providers.”
The medical center said it has future plans for distributing health content to the community, including an expanded social presence and launching an e-newsletter, according to the press release.
“We are very excited to be launching this new resource for our greater community,” said Carlyle. “People are already looking online for health information. By providing this blog and additional distribution methods, we are striving to ensure they see our expert content to help them live their healthiest life possible.”
