Sterilization has been a top priority for most businesses long before COVID-19 became a part of our everyday vocabulary. Since the pandemic, it seems that consumers are more interested than ever in a business’s sterilization protocols. Infections can occur in just about any setting from surgery centers to hospitals to chiropractic clinics. Of course, the odds are vastly different. For example, your chance of infection from a visit to your chiropractor is significantly lower than your chance of a Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) from a surgery center.¹ Experts attribute one of the main causes of infections as due to the lack of proper hygiene in healthcare settings.

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States? It beats out cancer by nearly 10-percent. Unfortunately, my mom was one of those that fell victim to cardiac arrest. In her case she was driving home from a day of shopping for graduation gifts for grandkids. I can’t help but wonder if she had been in a business that had a defibrillator at the time it happened if she wouldn’t still be here with us today.
