The Infection Control Department at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center recently hosted a poster contest for youngsters to illustrate the importance of good hand washing.

The winners of the inaugural contest were recently announced.

They are Megan Wysocki, 11, sixth grade, Wyoming Area School District, grand-prize winner; Victoria Atkinson, 9, third grade, Wilkes-Barre Academy, first runner-up; Claudia Leu, 10, fourth grade, Dallas School District, second runner-up; and Brooke Stevens, 9, fourth grade, Hanover Area School District, third runner-up.

Nurses and leaders at Geisinger Wyoming Valley voted to select the winning posters. Winners received a gift card and the grand-prize winner will have her poster displayed throughout the medical center this winter.
