During a bus tour of the West Campus, Dr. Rupp discussed how integration and teamwork set Mayo apart and shared plans for future campus expansion.

So here's an interesting side note about the date of of this #ilovejax tour of Mayo's Florida campus, August 23rd. The primary function of the #ilovejax campaign is to use the hashtag "#ilovejax" when you are tweeting about things in Jacksonville, Florida that you love. Well the idea of using hashtags in tweets wasn't started by twitter, but by one of their users, exactly 5 years ago on August 23, 2007, with this tweet:

And speaking of hashtags, @MayoClinic has just the one twitter account to represent all 3 campuses, yet does make use of hashtags when we want to specify an exact location...
Mayo Clinic in Arizona = #MayoClinicAZ
Mayo Clinic in Florida = #MayoClinicFL
Mayo Clinic in Minnesota = #MayoClinicMN
We shared this blog post on Mayo's facebook, twitter and flickr accounts.
Happy tweeting!
