Wellness twitter chat March 17 | Segal Benz

Written by Jennifer Benz | March 7, 2010

Wish you knew more people wanting to change workplace wellness like you do? Want to bounce a few ideas off people for new wellness initiatives? Need someone to answer questions who has been there before? Finally, your search is over.

Cohealth, a wellness knowledge co-op, was recently launched to assist with the wellness discussion. The group utilizes two social media tools, twitter and ning community, to allow people a place to share and learn.

The Twitter chat will take place monthly—every third Wednesday—from noon to 1pm EST (that’s 9am for us on the West coast!) using @co_health as the tag. The chats will be facilitated by Greg Matthews, Humana’s Director of Consumer Innovation, and Fran Melmed, owner of the HR communication consulting firm, Context Communication Consulting, and contributor at Fistful of Talent.

I caught the first half of the first Twitter chat and found it to be really enjoyable—and a great way to connect with others in our space. Think of it as concentrated Twitter effort/rewards.

If you miss a chat, you can use the ning community to read a summary. For more information, visit free-range communication. See you on the 17th!
