CHOC Children's - Social Networking

Social networking focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. As some of the fastest growing sites on the internet, social networking sites provide us with an opportunity to create communities and have a presence where many of our patients, associates, physicians, donors and friends already are.

In an effort to interactively engage CHOC's many friends, associates and supporters in cyberspace, we have developed a presence on several of the top social networking sites. If you are already on any of these networks, we invite you to join our community.
