Happy Father s Day to all the dads, we are thankful for all of the love, lessons, and wisdom that you have invested in your children. Province Place of Maryview has some of the best caregivers in the entire world, particularly our Certified Nursing Assistants.

Please help us to recognize and celebrate them June 10-16 during National CNA week. Please feel free to participate in any of the CNA week activities with us. I am excited to announce that we have hired a full time marketing coordinator, Elizabeth Cabusora.

Washing Hands Proper handwashing is the one best way to keep yourself and others healthy. It is simple and easy to do and is very effective in preventing the spread of germs. When do you need to wash your hands? Before, during, and after preparing food Before and after eating food Before and after using the toilet After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing After touching an animal, animal feed, or animal waste After touching trash/ garbage The following five steps below are the right way to wash hands: 1. Wet your hands with warm or cold running water, turn of the tap, and apply soap 2. Lather your hands by rubbing them together with soap, making sure to lather the backs of your hands, between fingers, and under your nails 3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. If you sing the Happy Birthday song twice in your head, that is about 20 seconds! 4. Rinse your hands well under clean, running water 5. Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them. If soap and water isn t available, you can use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol and follow the same technique in scrubbing your hands for about 20 seconds or until the hand sanitizer dries. Handwashing is not only keeping us clean and healthy, it is keeping others healthy as well!
