Infection Prevention School Partnership

Infection Prevention School Partnership

Gear up for back to school! The  Infection Prevention School Partnership between your school and the Henry the Hand Foundation has been designed to train your school’s community including faculty, staff, caregivers, parents and students to be more “Hand Aware” in order to prevent the spread of respiratory and gastro-intestinal diseases. 

During this Partnership, your school will see a decrease in clinic visits and the incidence of absenteeism due to illness.

This Partnership will help mitigate the impact of viral infections that annually threaten the health of your school’s community. The seasonal spike in Illness adversely impacts the learning environment for everyone.

We know a healthy student is a better learner.

Visit the School Program section in the sidebar for more information, plus FREE bookmarks to download and pass out to students on the first day of school!

Swine Flu (H1N1) Health Shield

Swine Flu (H1N1) Health Shield

I am wearing this Henry the Hand Health Shield in the office to demonstrate how effective it is  as a TEACHING device. When a patient has an acute respiratory illness it serves as a SAFETY Tool.  The responsible step in the TRUE primary infection Prevention strategies in the School Health arena is to use the barrier method to help change the faculty and student habit to PREVENT continued contamination. I am a solo practice Family Medicine physician who teaches primary prevention techniques all day long to patients and felt it was past time to teach EVERYONE the importance of Hand Awareness to reduce infectious disease events.  Peer pressure and Positive Deviance strategies for students and faculty work GREAT to achieve this goal.

 Remember,
"Do not touch the T-zone (mucus membranes)!
