  10. Written by:  Diep Hoang Johnson, BS, CEBAPIC Badger Chapter, SecretaryMadison, WI A critical step a person can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others is practicing proper hand hygiene. As IPs, we strive to bring awareness to the importance of hand hygiene in our healthcare centers and frequently find opportunities to educate our healthcare workers. However, finding effective methods to share the importance of hand hygiene with our patients and families can be challenging.To improve hand hygiene in the community, the APIC Badger Chapter partnered with the 2019 UW-Madison Science Expeditions to educate members of the community. We provided a hands-on exploration station that showed how easily germs transfer from surface to surface using glow powder. Free hand-sanitizer was given out to educate visitors on how to effectively clean their hands. Additionally, handouts on why, when, and how to clean cell phones were available. This was a reminder that touching an unclean cell phone is a common way to pick up germs.Overall, the event was a very successful! More than 530 visitors reported that the activities were fun, interesting, and useful. This opportunity allowed our chapter to explain what we do as IPs, and provide a fun and creative way to reach potentially future healthcare workers, patients, and families in the community. Chapters looking to identify similar community outreach or engagement opportunities should reach out to science programs at universities, local and state health departments, as well as science and career fairs at local schools. These events are usually free for attendees and organizations committing their time. Participation at the UW-Madison Science Expeditions came at no financial cost to the APIC Badger Chapter. All exhibit materials were either donated by members or reimbursed by the university science program. The APIC Badger Chapter was established in 1980. It currently serves 109 members in Southwest Wisconsin and is one of four chapters in the state.
