RCH/ Donates Hand Sanitizer
Launch the media gallery 1 playerIn an effort to support good hygiene and limit the spread of COVID, the Mount Ayr Medical Clinic and Ringgold County Hospital are donating more than 180 cases of hand sanitizer to area schools. "Through the course of this pandemic, we've all be reminded of the importance of keeping our hands sanitized," said Joe Mangiameli, hospital CEO. "We're pleased to be able to provide this to schools serving children of all ages."
Hospital and Clinic staff will be delivering the hand sanitizer over the coming days and encourage faculty, staff, and students to use it regularly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the best way to prevent the spread of infections and decrease the risk of getting sick is by washing your hands with plain soap and water. However, if soap and water are not available, CDC recommends consumers us an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol.
