Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:55 PM) - @HealthJusticeCT But it's hard to get the followers engaged. Most of them are passive users. I know they see the info thru bit.ly. #hcsmct

Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:40 PM) - @CTHealthCenters Hmmm...maybe that's something I could explore. I think a lot of people aren't aware of all of the services. #hcsmct
Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:39 PM) - @CHCConnecticut Do you think an app to locate CHCs would be helpful for people? Would it maybe reduce the burden on ERs? #hcsmct
Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:38 PM) - @CHCConnecticut Interesting. How could CTDPH use mobile apps? What are some ideas for apps that we could create? #hcsmct

Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:32 PM) - @HealthJusticeCT Even tho there was no power, social media was also a way people go info. This was measured thru bit.ly click-thrus. #hcsmct
Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:31 PM) - @HealthJusticeCT We have heard from people who received messages from the reverse 911. That seemed to work well. #hcsmct

Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:14 PM) - @ahynes1 Tricky part of SM is that people tend to follow people who are like them. Health people follow health people. #hcsmct
Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:14 PM) - @CHCConnecticut CHCs can be great to get messages out as they have the expertise (MDs, PAs, RNs) that mediums look for. #hcsmct
Connecticut Department of Public Health, Connecticut (January 23, 2012 - 3:13 PM) - @CHCConnecticut One way is to generate interest. Write an article for your local weekly paper. Offer to do radio interviews. #hcsmct
