Sodexo, P&G Professional, Clorox Healthcare and GOJO Launch the Safer Together Pilot Program to Help Give Consumers More Confidence in Shared Hospital Spaces - Seite 2

“GOJO has been a trusted provider of innovative solutions for hospitals for decades – we understand the vital role a community hospital plays,” said Carey Jaros, President and CEO, GOJO. “Patients need to feel safe going back to their local hospital – before a potential issue turns into an emergency. Bringing together PURELL Hand Sanitizer, America’s #1 brand of hand sanitizer – and one of the most trusted brands in healthcare, with other first-class brands, will help patients feel safer visiting their hospital.”

Cleaning and disinfection products in the Safer Together program will be used in shared and common spaces in the hospital, including high-touch surfaces like doorknobs and handles, light switches and countertops, safety shields, toilets, sinks and other restroom surfaces and as well as all areas around lobbies and corridors where patients and visitors travel. Signage will be available and placed in high-traffic areas to provide reassurance that cleaning and disinfecting initiatives are in place to provide safer common spaces for visitors.  The hospitals will also have PURELL hand sanitizer stations available upon facility entry and throughout the hospitals in other high-traffic areas – to help provide an additional safety measure for patients and visitors.  

The Safer Together program, in conjunction with other measures recommended by the CDC to prevent the spread of germs, can help hospitals reassure patients that the proper steps are being taken to increase their safety while visiting the facility.
