Commission grants permission for public‑health Instagram account
Summary
The commission authorized the public health department to set up an Instagram account to broaden outreach to younger residents, with cross‑posting from Facebook noted as an efficiency.
Fallon County commissioners granted permission for the public health department to establish an Instagram account to reach younger residents.
Josh (county staff) told the board that the health department would use the Facebook login to create an Instagram presence and that cross‑posting could reduce additional work. ‘‘Kim would like to set up a Instagram on the public health, utilizing the Facebook login,’’ Josh said. Another staff member noted that Facebook users tend to be older and that Instagram reaches a younger demographic, which could help family‑planning and other programs.
The chair moved to grant permission and the motion carried; staff will handle account setup and administrative access.
