"At PDI we help providers prevent infections, effectively target zero healthcare-associated infections, save lives and reduce associated costs," says Dan Marsh, executive vice president at PDI Healthcare.

Now, thanks to our superior product development team, we offer a great environmental hygiene system that includes best-in-class products, unparalleled clinical support and training and effective compliance aids."
"Due to the evolving changes within microorganisms, facilities are now faced with significant challenges in preventing the transmission of HAIs on a daily basis.
