A global pandemic has not slowed NorthBay Healthcare’s efforts to connect with the community on important health information. Using Facebook Live streaming video, NorthBay experts have been recording messages and answering questions in real time online for months.

The effort will continue in the next few weeks with chats on back pain, joint health and open enrollment options.

First up will be orthopedic surgeon Andrew Brooks, M.D., on Dec. 3, discussing treatment options for relief from hip and knee pain during a Facebook Live chat at 10 a.m.

Also on Dec. 3, at 2 p.m., Kelly Rhoads-Poston, senior marketing representative for NorthBay, will host the last of a series of live chats on Open Enrollment. Her focus this time will be on general insurance questions.
