Visitors are encouraged to comment on our page — that’s part of why we’re here, to facilitate conversation about your health and the health resources available here in Northern Arizona Healthcare. We may not respond to every comment, particularly those that may impact patient confidentiality or privacy.

We expect a basic level of civility; disagreements are fine, but mutual respect is a must, and profanity or abusive language are out-of-bounds. We do not allow personal attacks, excessive posting or spam. Posts that are off-topic, solicitations, HR matters, or posts clearly promoting a commercial product generally won’t last long.

Please note this policy also applies to all of our other social media presences (our blogs, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, etc.).

Our social media platforms are to be used for informational purposes only. What you read is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you have about a medical condition.

We reserve the right to make adjustments to this policy as needed, but hopefully we won’t need to intervene too much. That’s decidedly not the point of social media — right?

We reserve the right to remove posts advertising commercial products, as well as those that violate Facebook's terms of service, or are inaccurate or otherwise objectionable

Relevant comments or "like" votes on previously published posts are always welcome.

For current patients:
Your comfort, safety and satisfaction are important to us. We encourage you to speak to the nurse in charge of your unit about any concerns you may have about your room, food, or the care you are receiving.
