Facebook Community Guidelines
Sharing Content: We love to share your comments and stories with our employees and supporters. By posting on our wall, you agree to allow everyone, including people outside of the Mercy Care Center communities of Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or other social media network sites, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you. Mercy Care Center may use or share the comments you make on our social media networks, a practice that gives us the ability to share criticisms, ideas, comments and praise with employees and others. Site Moderation: Mercy Care Center (represented on Facebook as Mercy Care Center) intends to promote effective communication and maintain a respectful dialogue in social media and other platforms. In that spirit, we seek to maintain a productive and open forum for discussion with our associates, members, patients and communities. This site is moderated and all comments are subject to removal if the moderator determines that the comment does not follow our guidelines:
• Comments must be civil and may not contain slanderous, libelous, malicious, offensive, threatening, profane or insulting language.
• References to the personality of individuals or personal attacks will not be permitted.
• Advertising or promotional announcements are not permitted.
• Comments must be within the scope of the topic under discussion.
• Comments cannot include personally identifiable information, such as an address, phone number, Social Security number or other sensitive information.
• Comments cannot represent a person other than the one posting the comment.
• Comments containing links to other websites or pages must be relevant to the topic.
• Comments cannot serve electoral campaign purposes.
• Political messages are not permitted.
• Participants are responsible for what they post and must identify themselves.
• Comments must not breach any law, confidentiality agreement or copyright.
• Posts and links must respect patient privacy and dignity.
• Comments by external parties on the Mercy Care Center page or other social network sites are not considered official public testimony concerning any project or program. An opinion expressed on Mercy Care Center's social media forums is posted for discussion only and is not a substitute for a formal statement in a public hearing process. Mercy Care Center's social media networks are not forums to submit record or information requests, request doctor appointments or send confidential messages to Mercy Care Center providers. Our Channel: This is a discussion forum for Mercy Care Center and its associates, members, communities and patients. While it is not our intent to ban individuals from our page or other social media sites, we will remove abusive and/or inflammatory content. We hope you'll never have cause to complain about Mercy Care Center or its services, but we are open to any and all feedback and will do our best to help you connect with the right people who can, if needed, correct any situations that require attention. Because of the need to protect the privacy of our patients, we may sometimes ask you to send us appropriate details in a private channel via Facebook message feature or email. Please be aware that we cannot discuss personal, legal and private matters in a public channel. As a result, posts that mention litigation will be promptly removed. Please note that we do not allow the practice of "bumping" content - that is to say, posts that serve to repeat existing issues and bring them to the top of the Facebook wall or other social media network forums. All posters participate at their own risk, taking personal responsibility for their comments, username and any information provided.
