DO NOT LET YOUR SCHOOL CLOSE DUE TO H1N1 (Swine Flu).PREVENTION is the ultimate PREPARENESS Strategy!!! Order your "Back to School" Infection Prevention Tool Kit to allow your students and their families to Practice the 4 Principles of Hand Awareness to teach the BEST prevention techniques. We HAVE the solution to PREVENT Swine Flu from closing down schools! Follow these 4 simple steps to protect your School!!! 1. Have everyone from administrators to the youngest student wash or wipe their hands EVERY time they ENTER the school. Handwash station, soapy wash cloths, hand wipes, sanitizer, or SaniTwice at every entrance. 2. Reinforce “Do NOT Touch the T Zone!” Use the Health Shield to help “break the habit” of contaminating mucus membranes of the eye, nose or mouth, one day per week or more frequently. 3. Practice and Re-iterate the 4 Principles of Hand Awareness using the multi-media School Program. 1. Wash your hands before eating and when they are dirty! 2. Do not cough in your hands! 3. Do not sneeze in your hands! 4. Above all, do not put your finger in your eyes, nose or mouth! 4. Utilize Henry the Hand Champion Handwasher as the GREETER at every entrance to your facility. This will raise “Hand Awareness” for EVERY student and faculty member to a higher level of understanding. Start Using the Sniff test, promote communication on “Hand Awareness” through video, songs, posters or pantomime with a puppet, to reinforce the correct “hand behavior”. Encourage students to remember that their hands are vectors for transmission of germs (per NIAID). These simple steps are proven to decrease the spread of viral illnesses. Henry the Hand Champion Handwasher and Dr.Will are enlisting many volunteers to help “lend a Hand” to prevent the Swine Flu (H1N1). We are hoping that parents will participate in this true Prevention Campaign to benefit their community. We are asking you to lend a hand to improve the outcome, by promoting key elements to start practicing now in your community for the” Back to School” rush and beyond. Remember the Power is in your HANDS to Transmission of germs per CDC TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! Dr. Will Sawyer 513-769-4951
Henry's Health ShieldMaggie Rodrigues, anchor of The Early Show on CBS, wears Henry's Health Shield. She is demonstrating how the shield is a teaching device and a reminder to "Do Not Touch the T Zone" - 
Swine Flu (H1N1) Health ShieldI 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,
