Twittering – Everybody is doing it!

Everyone is using Twitter these days.  From large corporations to mom and pop shops, to celebrities to nuns.  Yes, that’s right I said nuns!  Well, one nun in particular, Sister Valentina from St. Joseph’s  Hospital of Atlanta.

Sister Valentina recently started tweeting for St. Joseph’s Hospital of Atlanta to reach out to the community and to a specific targeted audience, mainly females ages 25+.  This is such an interesting and exciting approach to social media for hospitals and healthcare systems because of those tweeting, no one has a nun doing it.

Also what makes this different from traditional business social media twitter campaigns is that Sister Valentina is a real person and not a marketing department trying to push out a message.  She heads their Compassionate Care initiative, and she’s intimately involved in many other facets of the health system. With Sister Valentina you can have a more intimate connection than you would with any other marketing department.

Sister Valentina celebrates her 60th anniversary through the Sisters of Mercy this year.
