Get Social Health

October 9, 2018 By Susannah Fox Leave a Comment

A group of adults sitting around a campfire in the woods

Janet Kennedy recently hosted me on the Get Social Health podcast, which focuses on how social media is being used to help hospitals, clinicians, caregivers, and patients connect and engage. We discuss how Twitter hashtags can be like camp fires, where people gather to tell stories, and why I have empathy for people who don’t […]

Medicine fails, patient is frustrated: Google - by Jessica Hagy

Jessica Hagy is one of my favorite social commentators, so I was thrilled to meet her in person at the 2010 Mayo Transform conference, curated by David Rosenman. Here is one of her cartoons from that event: I have shared the image on Twitter a few times, including today, when I wrote that I’d add […]

When Patients Band Together: Far From a Disgrace

What is the ROI on love?–Susannah Fox

September 27, 2010 By Susannah Fox 8 Comments

Last week’s Mayo Transform symposium was a two-day excursion into the world of science, data, design, and the secret ingredient to health: love. Patch Adams, MD, kicked things off in grand style. If you’ve never seen him speak, treat yourself to a hit of his energy: In 1971, he and his compatriots opened a 24×7 […]
