It's important for everyone to wash their hands. But there are some professions where hand washing is a critical part of the job: health care workers, teachers, and anyone involved in the food industry.
That's why LifeBridge Health is so excited that the Restaurant Association o
f Maryland has joined us in the promotion hand washing. A variety of posters, including the one pictured here, are available free to RAM members. Each poster is available in a laminated 8 1/2 x 11 format. You can read more about it on the Restaurant Association of Maryland Education Foundation Web site.
The hand washing campaign continues to "spread the word, not the germs." When you click on Wash Your Hands Maryland, you'll not only see our PSA but see the variety of downloadable hand washing tools available.
Tell us: are you washing your hands more these days? Are you carrying hand sanitizer everywhere, or using our LifeBridge Health towelettes? Post your thoughts in our comments section!
