Mayo Clinic, the leader of the healthcare social media movement, launched the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media with a clear mission:
Mayo Clinic believes individuals have the right and responsibility to advocate for their own health, and that it is our responsibility to help them use social media tools to get the best information, connect with providers and with each other, and inspire healthy choices. We intend to lead the health care community in applying these revolutionary tools to spread knowledge and encourage collaboration among providers, improving health care quality everywhere.
Mission of the Center: Lead the social media revolution in health care, contributing to health and well being for people everywhere.
There is no question the movement will be in the best hands, for proof, just take a look at one of their first entries: Case Study: Using Social Media to Promote Organ and Tissue Donation

This video illustrates real-time MRI of vocal performance. It includes examples from a soprano and an emcee/beatboxer. This video was featured at the Sounds and Visions Session, of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) Scientific Sessions, May 2006, Seattle.
