First Hospital CEO Blog Ever

November 10th, 2005

"I write, they comment, we connect. That is what it is all about." - Nick, the first hospital CEO blogger in the blogosphere.

Well, the day has finally come - the first hospital CEO has hit the blogosphere. Actually, he's been blogging since May, but I just didn't find him until now.

Nicholas Jacobs, FACHE, is President and CEO of Windber Research Institute and Windber Medical Center. His blog, informally titled Nick's Blog, covers a range of issues and honestly addresses various audiences - including employees, the community, and the board. His blog was also reviewed & profiled by the mega-popular Diva Marketing blog, who gave him two thumbs up. Her profile is a definite read, as they interview Nick on his thoughts on blogging. Turns out the idea for him to start blogging came from an 80-year-old friend.

UPDATE: Also check out the WSJ CareerJournal article that tracks Nick's career from high school music teacher to hospital CEO.

Thanks for your kind words about Diva Marketing and the mini case about Nick's blog. Although many healthcare facilities consider blogs a walk on the wild side, innovators like Nick and blogs like hospital impact demonstrate that the risk can be mitigated and the results significant.
