I was looking for a non-organization to research and found Mercy Medical Angles. I have heard of the Mercy hospitals but never of their group called "Mercy Medical Angles". The Mercy Medical Angels’ mission and purpose is to ensure that no financially-stressed patient is denied access to distant specialized medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment for lack of a means of long-distance medically related transportation; further, to ensure the provision of urgent transportation in situations of compelling human need and homeland security emergencies. I had no idea that their was someone or some people out their actually making sure that some people could get the care they needed and not be burden on the distant they would have to travel. They have a wonderful website that i have posted below with the article I found. Not many articles were there that I noticed. The Organization uses only Facebook and Twitter and this is what puzzled me and also drew me to the organization.
Their Facebook page is actively posting and updating on past patients and people that they've helped out. On Twitter they have posted previous patients testimonials as well as things that the organizations are doing to better help the people they are trying to reach. I believe they are missing out on using the visiual platforms that were mentioned in the lecture. Specifically Youtube and Instagram. With Youtube they would be able to post interviews, interactions with patients, and maybe after procedure visits with the patients to get their testimonials on camera. I think they could really broaden their reach with Youtube. Instagram is one I am surprised they do not use. This could be a great way to post pictures quickly and even videos.
All in all i believe they are doing a great thing and i believe they can do so much better by advancing their outreach to social media platforms of Youtube and Instagram.
