The U.S. government website for information and tools for staying healthy has joined the 800+ million users of Facebook in search of a community.
The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched its own Facebook page – Be Healthy Your Way.
The 2012 challenge started January 3rd with a goal of helping Americans create and keep healthy resolutions for the coming year.

The Ultimate Sacrifice
Those who know me, know I am not a huge Facebook fan.
In the interest of keeping my readers iinformed, I made the ultimate sacrifice and hit the Like button. I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere, but for now, I’ll leave it alone.
The page asks for three things after you Like it.
- Post what being healthy means to you
- Make a healthy resolution and share it on the wall
- Invite family and friends to join
It offers several health topics under Healthy Living, A Friend Activity category and the ol’ Info and Policies categories, along with Photos and the Wall – standard Facebook fare.
At this point, there are 858 Likes and 623 talking about this. Hm, and I thought I was an original.
I’ll update you from time to time on what’s happening at the healthfinder.gov page.
Have you checked it out?
