VA Announces Launch of Facebook Pages for all 152 Medical Centers

On Wednesday, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced that it has  established Facebook pages for all of its 152 medical centers, Healthcare IT News reports.

VA first started using the social networking site when it established a  single Facebook page for the Veterans Health Administration in 2008. The  department now has:

  • More than 150 Facebook pages;
  • 64 Twitter feeds;
  • A YouTube channel;
  • A Flickr photo page; and
  • A “VAntage Point”  blog (Miliard, Healthcare IT News, 12/22).

Although VA health care providers cannot discuss an individual’s specific  health concerns on Facebook, VA employees still can use the social networking  site to provide helpful information to veterans (VA release, 12/21).

VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said, “By leveraging Facebook, the department  continues to expand access to VA, and embrace transparency and two-way  conversation.”

VA officials said they plan to continue expanding the agency’s Facebook  presence and focus on setting up a Twitter feed for every VA medical center  (Healthcare IT News, 12/22).
