Three Rivers District Health Department serves four rural counties in Kentucky. We've had our Facebook and Twitter accounts for five or so years and we've recently completed a QI project to update our website. We'll be starting a QI project to identify what our "followers" want to see on social media, while also increasing our followers and likes. Any thoughts or suggestions from folks that have done something similar? You're welcome to email me at april.harris@ky.gov.

This project focused on optimizing a new website and social media presence to increase awareness and knowledge about the health department and its services.

As I was browing the site, I came across this PHQIX submission from 2013, "Enhancing the Health Department's Media Presence" and I thought it might be useful for you.

Hi April,
Hi April,
Our Community Health Resources department is currently doing a PDCA project involving FB Likes. I will be interested to hear about "what followers want to see"! One question that our team has pondered is how to make Public Health information social vs. broadcasting it? Keep us posted!
