Start Your Social Media Campaign

We’ve created a series of campaign graphics for you to use on your social media platforms. These evidence-based messages can help healthcare leaders understand the incredibly valuable role your team plays in providing practical solutions to many of healthcare’s most pressing problems.

 

 

Download the artwork folder, choose the message most pertinent to you, and then post it on your social media platforms, using the hashtag #IPCEDelivers. We’ve provided graphics in a range of sizes. There are five messages to choose from:

  • Improve Patient Care
  • Retain Valued Team Members
  • Deliver Cost-Effective Care
  • Increase Your Visibility
  • Lead Strategically

Of the five different designed messages, we recommend you start first with the “Improve Patient Care” message, one of the key hallmarks of IPCE.
