🙌✨ IT'S GLOBAL HANDWASHING DAY! ✨🙌

October 15th, we're celebrating the simplest superpower there is: CLEAN HANDS!

Did you know washing your hands with soap for just 20 seconds can knock out germs, stop the spread of illness, and keep you AND your whole community healthier? That's basically magic but better, because it's science! 🧪💧

Tip of the Day from the DCHD!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
1️⃣ Wet those hands
2️⃣ Soap up (get between the fingers, no cheating!) 🫧
3️⃣ Scrub for 20 seconds (hum "Happy Birthday" twice or make up your own hand-washing anthem 🎶)
4️⃣ Rinse
5️⃣ Dry and feel fabulous 💅

👏 Tag someone who NEEDS this reminder (you know who you are, 2-second hand-rinser) 👀

Following our monthly All-Staff meeting Wednesday morning DCHDers took a collective walk to log in our steps for Walk-Tober! Hope everyone is walk, walk, walking!!🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶
