Lights! Camera! MDoc TV!

Who says watching TV isn’t good for you?

MDoc TV, a monthly videocast produced by the Martin Memorial Marketing Communications Department, is designed to provide information that can help people improve their health. It can be seen on the health system’s Web site, http://www.mmhs.com/.

The videocast, which debuted on April 22, features a wide range of health issues from physicians and clinical experts. In the inaugural videocast, topics included: Martin Memorial’s collaboration in a study called Total Cancer Care; how a specialized rehabilitation program can get golfers back out on the links; and information from cardiologist Howard Helfman, M.D., on how to prevent heart disease.

“MDoc TV is designed to deliver healthcare news and information in an engaging fashion that is convenient to access,” said Lisa McCluskey, director of marketing communications. “Our goal is to provide a wide range of topics that can help people live healthier lives.”

Since November 2007, Martin Memorial has been providing new ways for people to access healthcare information. That includes this blog as well as Martin Memorial Healthcast, a podcast produced twice a month that can also be accessed at http://www.mmhs.com/.

By offering a variety of communication outlets, Martin Memorial is continuing its role as the leading healthcare provider in the community by helping people prevent disease and staying healthy.
