Known for her influence and Twitter prowess, Julia Hanigsberg, president and CEO of Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital has shared her wisdom and shares tips on being a successful social media leader in a new book; The Social CEO.

“Social media has become an important part of my identity as a healthcare CEO,” writes Hanigsberg in her chapter titled “The Healthcare CEO.” “The pace of change means that it is a struggle to keep on top of what you need to know to be an effective healthcare leader. I use Twitter as a tool to be engaged in some of the most current thinking and in dialogue with some of those thought-leaders. I use social media as a rapid and omnipresent content-delivery system that helps me identify and consume information, including health science research and leadership/strategy advice.”

The Social CEO was first released in the U.K in August 2019 and released in North America on January 7, 2020.
