Your hands carry germs you can’t see. Washing your hands not only prevents you from getting sick, but also reduces the risk of infecting others.
Remember to wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds, especially:
- after coughing, sneezing or using tissues
- before and after eating
- before preparing food
- after handling raw meat
- after petting an animal
- after using the bathroom

World Heart Day
Thursday, September 29 is World Heart 
Day, a day to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and its risk factors.
Day, a day to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and its risk factors. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally and is responsible for more than 17 million deaths annually.
The good news is that many of these deaths are preventable. By adopting a healthy lifestyle and managing risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, we can dramatically reduce our chances of developing cardiovascular disease.
Walking is one of the simplest ways you can help your #HeartHealth. Regular walking can help reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels.
Discover new walking trails in your area.
Let’s all commit to caring for our heart health on #WorldHeartDay. Talk to your family doctor to learn how you can best take care of your heart.
