December marks National Handwashing Awareness Week, a timely reminder as families gather and winter illnesses circulate. Proper handwashing is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs, reduce seasonal infections, and keep loved ones healthy.
A reminder that washing hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and warm water—especially after coughing, sneezing, using the restroom, or being in public spaces—can make a significant impact on overall wellness this season. Small habits like this help protect children, older adults, and those with chronic health conditions.
If you need care or have questions about staying healthy this winter, our team is here to help.
Call 888.710.8220 or visit healthy-connections.org to schedule an appointment.

World AIDS Day is a reminder that stigma still keeps too many people in Arkansas from getting a simple, confidential HIV test. HIV today is treatable and manageable, but that progress only matters when people feel safe enough to take the first step. Silence and outdated beliefs should never stand between someone and their health. Testing is confidential, treatment is effective, and early care saves lives.

Healthy Connections provides confidential HIV testing, evidence-based treatment, and care built on dignity and respect. No judgment. No barriers. Just truth, support, and a path toward better health. Read the full World AIDS Day article and learn how you can take control of your future at www.healthy-connections.org/horizons-health-blog/worldaidsday/ To schedule confidential testing, call 888-710-8220.
