Slide Show: Handwashing

Slideshow

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that handwashing is easy to do and it's one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of many types of infection and illness in all settings-from the home and workplace, to childcare facilities and hospitals. Clean hands can stop infectious pathogens from spreading from one person to another and throughout an entire community.
