UW Health Communications: Connect with us on social media

Respectful conduct

We encourage open and respectful communication. Please be considerate of others' opinions and experiences. Offensive, discriminatory or abusive language will not be tolerated.

Privacy and confidentiality

Protect your privacy and the privacy of others. Do not share personal medical information on our social media channels. Do not submit questions about your personal medical concerns through social media. Contact your health care provider for assistance.

Accurate information

We strive to provide accurate health information, but social media is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult with a health care provider for personalized guidance.

Content moderation

We reserve the right to limit commenting ability, delete comments and/or block users we consider slanderous, unlawful, obscene, hateful or threatening. We may also remove any comments that are off topic, repetitive or contain links.

Emergency situations

Social media is not the appropriate platform to communicate during medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a life- or limb-threatening emergency, call 911. If you or someone you love is experiencing a suicidal, mental health and/or substance use crisis, call 988 or visit 988lifeline.org/chat.

Resolving a concern

Patient Relations staff assist in resolving concerns about the care and service you receive at UW Health hospitals and clinics. They are also able to share compliments about services you have received. Contact UW Health Patient Relations.

By engaging with us on social media, you agree to these terms and conditions. We appreciate your support in creating a safe and informative online community for everyone.
