Point Media Websites Help NJ Hospitals Increase Awareness of Community Outreach Health ProgramsMost New Jersey hospitals are more committed than ever before to connecting with their communities through comprehensive community outreach programs and events. What is the best way for consumers to find out about these programs?
By: K. Gooler A number of New Jersey hospitals are producing robust events calendars filled with seminars, screenings, healthy living expos, healthy cooking demonstrations, exercise programs and much more. These events are held within the hospital and throughout the community. Given the increasing significance of healthcare quality to consumers, community outreach programs can go a long way towards enhancing a hospital’s reputation and perceived value in their service area. Typically, New Jersey hospital community outreach programs are listed on hospital websites and on various media calendars. In many cases, programs that are very important or potentially very interesting to the community, are not well publicized and are ultimately poorly attended. Point Media’s network of New Jersey county-specific community websites has become a successful platform for hospitals wishing to promote community outreach programs in a targeted and high-profile way. Many hospitals throughout the northern and central New Jersey areas have come to rely upon sites like http://www.mybergen.com, http://www.yoursomerset.com, http://www.myhudsoncounty.com and other Point Media websites to help them get the word out to residents in their hospital service areas. Using articles, e-blasts, video and other channels, Point Media websites 'get the word out' about hospital community events. These New Jersey community websites are considered by many hospital public relations professionals and local consumers to be extremely reliable local resources for local health and hospital event information. Here are a few examples of New Jersey Hospital Community Outreach programs featured on Point Media New Jersey community websites: Drumming Your Way to Good Health at Valley Hospital In recent years, drumming circles have become part of rapid-growing grass-roots cultural experience for entertainment and health promotion.

Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) are conditions caused by placing too much stress on a joint and they vary in type and severity. Many RSIs that affect the hands are linked to the stress of repetitive motions at the computer or while texting. This program at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, New Jersey will explain some of the things you can do to reduce the likelihood of developing an RSI as well as treatment options for hands that have already been affected.
