May 3, 2013
NASHVILLE, TN. May 3, 2013. An innovative, personalized online health information resource has just been launched by all hospitals in the Capella Healthcare family.
Called Private Health News, the new service allows consumers to designate the health information they want to receive via several free services, including an e- newsletter. “Our hospitals are committed to improving the health of their communities, and this new resource will help them do that by giving people easy access to the current health information that matters most to them,” said Dan Slipkovich, CEO of Capella Healthcare. “These new services can help people make more informed decisions about their health.”
The new services include:
- My Health Newsletter – Hospitals will email subscribers the latest health news every month on the topics they choose, pulled from hundreds of publications and journals, all medically reviewed.
- My Health Reminders – Subscribers who provide their age and gender can be emailed free, timely reminders for all key health screenings and exams they need. They can also sign up for My Health Reminders for Loved Ones™.
- My Health Assessments –These comprehensive health and wellness tools give expert recommendations based on easy-to-use interactive questionnaires.
- Daily Health News – This section features the important health news of the day, based on the latest health news and research, six times a week.
- My Baby Expectations – For hospitals with maternity services, expectant parents can subscribe to a free monthly email newsletter throughout pregnancy, delivery and baby’s first year. It includes information on pregnancy, breastfeeding and baby’s development, as well as downloadable podcasts and lullabies.
“While people should always rely first on their personal physician as their best health resource, we also know that more than half of US adults turn to the Internet for health information,” said Beth B. Wright, Vice-President of Corporate Communications and Strategic Marketing. “These new services assist us in achieving our vision: for our hospitals to be the center point for transforming the quality of life in their communities, by focusing first on improving the health and well-being of every individual.”
