Kansas City, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2010 -- Learn how to implement a successful, professional social media campaign for your practice or hospital.

“It’s a great way to essentially go to social media university without having to leave the office,” Jamie Verkamp says of her upcoming webinar series, Social Media for Healthcare Leaders. The seasoned consultant is once again teaming up with healthcare attorney David Harlow to teach healthcare leaders how to more effectively engage patients and strengthen the delivery process of healthcare through social media. The pair decided to host this series after receiving an enormous, positive response to their December workshop.

“I loved learning from experts who not only do their own social media for their brands, but work in the trenches everyday with their healthcare clients to help them engage with their patients,” said one participant. “Both believe in the pureness of social media, that it’s less about the tools of delivery but more about the concept of delivering better healthcare and putting the patients at the center of their healthcare experience.”

Beginning January 26th, a new group of participants will meet once a week for an hour and a half via webinar and video chat. Verkamp says they have limited space so they can give attention to all of the attendees. “You’ll truly understand social media, not just know how to work the tools, but how to create your own successful social media campaign.”
