High Five for a Healthy New Hampshire

“High Five for a Healthy New Hampshire” is a hand hygiene consciousness campaign that aims to increase hand hygiene and reduce hospital-associated infections. Every healthcare facility in New Hampshire has joined the campaign and pledges to abide by the “5 fingers” of the program. “High Five” strives to be 100% in compliance with the CDC’s Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health Care Settings, and their website includes a video and a power point presentation about good hygiene, among additional hand hygiene links and resources. Tools to help track hand hygiene are also available along with posters and stickers.
