What kinds of messages do you show on the screens?
The screens are able to show images and videos with no sound.
We focus on messages that inform and educate patients and employees. Messages are helpful, educational, and action-oriented. We do not post messages that are self-promoting or sales-oriented.
Some of our common uses are:
- highlighting Credo award winners
- promoting town halls, public lectures, and other informative events
- reminding employees and patients about vaccines, blood drives, and other health-oriented opportunities.
