Continuing with my upload of great interviews with public health professionals from the recent CDC Health Communication, Marketing and Media conference – I had the opportunity to connect with Jason Melancon, Director of Media and Communications at the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI). Jason has more than eight years of experience managing print and web based marketing campaigns, special events and public relations. He also has extensive experience managing large scale, regional and statewide public health social marketing campaigns.
I met Jason in a panel session on how the CDC was tracking the use of their social web tools. Afterward we connected for a chat on what he was doing at LPHI and how they were using new media to help with their campaigns. One campaign in particular that we spoke about (and covered in the video) was Stay Healthy LA (Louisiana). Another initiative that LPHI is moving forward is GNOcommunity.org, which helps individuals and families locate quality community healthcare centers near them.
