October 15 is Global Handwashing Day! 🧼✨
Founded in 2008 by the Global Handwashing Partnership, this international awareness day advocates for hand hygiene as one of the simplest, most effective ways to prevent disease and save lives worldwide.
With fall bringing cooler weather and cold and flu season, proper hand hygiene becomes even more essential. In healthcare and hospice settings, clean hands are a vital form of protection- safeguarding vulnerable patients, keeping families healthy, and supporting our care teams as they deliver compassionate care every day.
Take a moment today to refresh your routine: lather with soap for at least 20 seconds, rinse thoroughly, and help us keep our community healthy this season! 💜
