Washing our hands is essential because it removes germs that can cause illness and helps prevent the spread of infections to others. 🦠🚫
We should wash our hands before eating, after using the restroom, after coughing or sneezing, after touching animals, and anytime they look or feel dirty. 🍽️🚻🤧🐾

Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), then apply soap. 💦🧴
Lather by rubbing your hands together — including the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. 🫶
Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. ⏱️
Rinse your hands well under clean, running water. 🚿
Dry your hands using a clean towel or an air dryer. 🧻💨

❤️ Get a Baseline EKG for National Heart Health Month! ❤️
A baseline EKG (electrocardiogram) is a quick, painless test that measures the electrical activity of your heart. But why is it so important?
✨ Why You Should Get a Baseline EKG:
🩺 Early Detection Saves Lives
A baseline EKG can help detect irregular heart rhythms, early signs of heart disease, or silent issues you may not feel yet.
📊 Helps Your Doctor Spot Changes Over Time
If you ever experience chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or changes in your health, your doctor can compare future EKGs to your baseline—making it easier to catch problems early.
💓 Especially Important for People 40+
As we age, the risk of heart disease increases. A baseline EKG provides a valuable starting point for future care.
🏃‍♀️ Vital for Those with Risk Factors
High blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, family history, or a stressful lifestyle? A baseline EKG is especially beneficial.
⏱️ Fast, Safe, and Non‑Invasive
The test takes just a few minutes—but the information it gives could be lifesaving.
This National Heart Health Month, take the step your heart has been waiting for. 💖
Schedule your baseline EKG and encourage someone you love to do the same. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier community—one heartbeat at a time. 🫶✨

Some of the best ideas in rural health care start right here in Cochise County!

This week, Benson Hospital & Northern Cochise Community Hospital CEO, Gary Kartchner and CNO Velma Cooper are sharing their real-world experience and successes with leaders from across the country at the 39th Annual AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference.

Both Gary and Velma know that providing care in rural and outlying communities takes creativity, strong leadership, and a culture that truly supports the people doing the work. We know a flexible, connected workforce is a big part of what makes that possible.

Their shared leadership model across both hospitals has made a real difference right here in Cochise County for our neighbors. And now, hospital leaders around the country will know what we know - workforce flexibility means teams can work smarter—not harder—and builds a shared culture rooted in People First, Always.

Thank you Gary & Velma!
