Social media for healthcare invariable includes Facebook as a primary channel. The challenge for a busy medical practice is finding the time to post enough content so keeping up with frequent Facebook changes can be a challenge. Get Social Health called upon Facebook expert Shelley Heinrichs of Proclaim Interactive to bring us up to date on the latest changes.

Shelley and I talked about three major Facebook changes: the end of "like-gating", the best format for posting links and the down-grading of "click-bait" content. To catch the segments of our conversation, check the time stamp content below.
