Global Handwashing Day: Protecting Health in Queens, NY

October 15 is Global Handwashing Day, a reminder that one of the simplest actions can make the biggest difference in health. Proper handwashing with soap and water helps prevent the spread of germs, infections, and illnesses in children and adults alike.

Effective handwashing means scrubbing for at least 20 seconds, covering all parts of the hands, and rinsing with clean water. This small habit reduces the spread of colds, flu, and many other preventable infections.

At Outlier Health & Wellness in Fresh Meadows, Queens, NY, we encourage patients to practice preventive care every day — starting with good hand hygiene.
