Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center employees say they fear patients are being sickened by dirty conditions in the California healthcare facility, according to an article on The Los Angeles Times website.
“I pick up bone, blood and flesh,” Leticia Duarte, an environmental services employee at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, said in the article. “It can be on the walls and ceiling. We use mops to clean up. We’re not trained how to handle that.”
Another employee in the hospital’s environmental services department, said she had been trained in infection control once in 12 years.
Hospital executives denied the employees’ complaints, saying that employees are trained in infection control at least annually.
