#hcldr is a strong and vibrant online community of people who all share a passion for improving healthcare. Our community includes patients, physicians, nurses, CEOs, #HealthIT folks, caregivers, policy makers and students from all over the world including: US, Canada, Philippines, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, UK and South Africa. Every Tuesday at 8:30pm Eastern time (GMT-5), the #hcldr community gathers on Twitter for a weekly tweetchat where we discuss a healthcare related topic. In the days before the weekly chat, a blog is posted at http://www.hcldr.org that provides background information and context for the discussion. Each post has the questions that will be discussed on the Tuesday chat. #hcldr is open to anyone and everyone. It’s not just for healthcare executives or people who work in healthcare. If you care about health, the care you or your loved ones receive or any aspect of the healthcare industry – then we consider you a healthcare leader and we hope that you will share your insights with our community.
