Social media has, without a doubt, solidified itself as an essential asset for any successful business or professional team. When people begin building their online profiles, their main objective is typically to attract a specific audience of followers to their page. What they often forget is that your number of followers is just as important as the people and pages that you follow. In the healthcare industry, there are a few notable social media accounts that all physicians, nurses, and health executives should follow.
