Mansfield, TX – Methodist Mansfield Medical Center today joined millions worldwide in observing Global Handwashing Day, highlighting the crucial role of hand hygiene in protecting health. Celebrated annually on October 15, this initiative serves as a reminder that regular handwashing can significantly reduce the spread of infections and diseases, benefiting individuals, families, and communities alike. The medical center is excited to partner with Buff City Soap, who provided the soap and whose dedication to high-quality, plant-based soap products aligns with our mission of promoting health and hygiene. In conjunction with this observance, Methodist Mansfield conducted a handwashing poster contest for elementary art students. Fourth grader Charlotte Adolph from Brenda Norwood Elementary School took first place with her creative drawing. Leila Amaya and Sonni Carl, both also fourth graders from the same school, earned second and third places, respectively. Additionally, Joaquin Soto, an art teacher at Lake Ridge High School, showcased his talent with a striking soap sculpture featuring hands under a faucet holding a bar of soap. Methodist Mansfield Medical Center encourages everyone to prioritize hand hygiene—not just today, but every day. Let’s cultivate a culture of cleanliness in our community as we celebrate clean hands and healthy lives!
