We are one of the top specialty hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, and have been caring for members of the community for more than 160 years.
Social media has become an integral part of MedStar Health’s community outreach efforts. Through our social media channels, we strive to interact with our patients, their families, colleagues, and our community in a positive and constructive manner.
When interacting with the MedStar Health brand online, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- When leaving a comment or authoring a post on a MedStar Health social media channel, please be mindful of you and your loved ones’ personal safety and security. Once you post something online, there is a potential for thousands of people to read your words. As a result we suggest that you do not share medical and personal information such as your location, medical or financial information, etc. in the form of a public post or comment. Should sharing personal information be necessary, please do so in a private message.
- Negative posts that are written respectfully will be acknowledged and addressed. However, please do not leave negative posts that are offensive, defamatory, slanderous, untruthful, use foul language, are explicit, or are threatening in nature. These types of posts will be hidden and/or deleted from the page. Interacting with our social media audience is a priority for MedStar Health, and we strive to address all social media interactions as quickly as possible.
- Do not post comments that violate the privacy of our patients and their families.
- Do not post comments that may be considered spam such as chain letters, advertisements or repeated postings or other postings that are unrelated to healthcare or MedStar Health. Do not post any links to malware or to websites that are intended to distribute malware.
Please respect the above guidelines and we look forward to interacting with you. Should a user be found in violation of these guidelines, they will be banned from our page.
