For example, one pin board showcases different gift ideas for young patients. Another showcases case studies and shows photos and stories of kids who were cared for by the hospital. This may influence a parent who is pondering the best hospital for their child.
  • Akron Children’s Hospital in Akron, Ohio, uses Pinterest as an awareness tool. One board showcases their employees and their passion for their jobs. They also showcase upcoming events and fundraisers.
