New Missouri Health Education Initiative Announced
(2009-07-02)
(KBIA) - State Representative Rebecca McClanahan announced a new health education initiative to give information on health care restructuring. One hundred days on health care is Representative McClanahan's new online forum. The service will use the increasingly popular Web site Twitter, to give viewers daily updates exploring the state of healthcare in Missouri. McClanahan says she chose to use twitter because she wanted to spread small pieces of information quickly.

"It just seemed like a perfect way to try to get the word out a little bit about facts and verifiable information about healthcare system reform."

McClanahan says that 100 days is the trial period for the health care information project but if it goes well she will continue it as long as people are interested.
