The Challenge

High employee sick rates and inconsistent cleaning quality

Springfield Family Medicine was experiencing employee sick days 30% above the healthcare industry average. With 45 staff members across nursing, reception, and administrative roles, unexpected absences were disrupting patient care and forcing expensive temporary staffing solutions.

Their previous cleaning contractor provided inconsistent service quality. High-touch surfaces like door handles, light switches, and medical equipment were often missed. The practice had no documented cleaning protocols, making it impossible to verify what was actually being cleaned each night.

  • Employee sick days 30% above healthcare industry average
  • Patient complaints about cleanliness in waiting areas and restrooms
  • Failed multiple OSHA inspection checklist items
  • No documented cleaning protocols or verification systems
  • Inconsistent quality from previous contractor
  • High-touch surfaces frequently missed during cleaning
