Hear Her Social Media Posts for Health Care Providers

CDC's Hear Her® campaign offers social media posts and graphics that health care organizations can share on accounts such as Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) to help prevent pregnancy-related deaths.

Tips

• Keep posts short — people read short posts more than long ones.
• Ask partners to share or promote your posts.
• Use the hashtag #HearHer on X and Instagram so posts can be grouped and found.
• Engage with the campaign's accounts through likes, mentions and shares.
• Use images sized for each platform; the campaign provides versions for Facebook, Instagram and X.
