Epidemiology Corner

As employees of a health department, it is expected that health consciousness be a primary concern. Being health conscious means practicing habits that promote health and prevent the spread of disease. It can be as simple as ABC. Wash your hands thoroughly after using the restroom. Help maintain a clean restroom. Don't leave soiled toilet paper lying on the floor. Wash your hands thoroughly before eating. Cover your mouth when sneezing. Stay home when you are contagious. Throw trash in the garbage bin, especially in the parking garage. How do you measure up?

BE A MODEL OF HEALTH! The public and your fellow health department co-workers are watching you.
