MITSS HAS GONE SOCIAL!

Since the MITSS mission is so closely tied to creating a greater awareness and educating about medically induced trauma, we continually explore new and innovative ways of reaching out to our community.  We have set up a number of social networking sites which will help us broaden our reach and strengthen our commitment to supporting anyone affected by an adverse medical event.  We would also like to encourage lively and respectful discussion about MITSS and our services as well as relevant and topical patient safety issues. 

MITSS has set up a Group on Facebook (www.facebook.com), probably the most popular social networking website currently used.  Joining the MITSS Group allows our Facebook “Friends” to join in a common effort, keep up to date on MITSS happenings, and participate in MITSS online Events.  If you are already on Facebook, join the MITSS Group (just search Groups and type in “MITSS”).  If you’re not on Facebook, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!  Set up a page, and don’t forget to join the MITSS Group. 

A MITSS “Cause” has also been set up on Facebook (www.facebook.org).  A Facebook Cause is an online campaign for collective action which enables non-profit 501(3)(c) corporations like MITSS  to raise funds through online contributions.  If you are a Facebook user, search Causes, join the MITSS Cause, and help us to strengthen our online effort.  If you’re not on Facebook, what are you waiting for?

MITSS has teamed up with CarePages to offer patients, families, and clinicians a free, private web page to communicate with their loved ones during a time when support is really needed. At MITSS, we have come to appreciate the amazing healing power that comes with chronicling one’s story. Setting up a CarePage is also a great way to share photos, news, and updates. A CarePage can be created and used at any stage of care, and it doesn’t have an end date.

So, visit:  www.carepages.com/mitss today and click on “Create” to start your own journal. We are proud to partner with CarePages and are committed to providing patients, families and clinicians with important tools and resources along their journey toward healing.
