Prevent Common Diseases

Good hand hygiene is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself and your family from colds, flu and many other diseases. Teaching you how to keep your hands free of germs is one of the many ways we help you stay healthy.

Here's How:

If Your Hands Are Not Visibly Soiled:

  • Use an Alcohol-Based Hand Rub
  • Rub It into All Parts of Your Hands & Fingers Until Dry
  • You Do Not Need to Rinse It off

If Your Hands Are Visibly Soiled:

  • Wash Hands with Soap and Water—for at Least 15 Seconds
  • Dry Hands with a Clean Cloth or Paper Towel

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body Mass Index is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. BMI has shown to be a reliable indicator of body fatness for most children and teens. It does not measure body fat directly, but correlates to direct measures of body fat. Additionally, it is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

According to recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), BMI is used as a screening tool for overweight in children beginning at 2 years of age. It is used to screen for overweight, at risk of overweight, or underweight.

Make sure you get BMI readings done for you and your family to determine that obesity is a problem and possibly affecting your health.
