Best Practices-National Association of County and City Health Officials

Posted by admin on June 23, 2009

The National Association of County and City Health Officials makes use of social media. Their mission statement is as follows:

NACCHO is the national organization representing local health departments. NACCHO supports efforts that protect and improve the health of all people and all communities by promoting national policy, developing resources and programs, seeking health equity, and supporting effective local public health practice and systems.

They display a Twitter Follow banner on each page of the site.  So if you have a presence on Twitter be sure to follow them.

I also encourage you to visit their  marketing page. This page has an assortment of communication tools, PSA’a and logos that can by used by local public health agencies.

Of course you will get maximum benefits if your are a member of the organization. But there is a great deal of information accessible on the site as a non-member also.

They have also created a .Facebook page for an upcoming national conference. This is an excellent thing to do if you are on Facebook. You can also create several pages each with a singular focus.

This is a powerfully comprehensive site that will keep growing so keep visiting.
