“We are the frontline in caring for veterans and their families, and we are blessed to have the budget to afford technologies that help us do that,” he said.
Tallmadge has purchased ultraviolet disinfection units, new floor equipment that streamlines cleaning/finishing, and restroom equipment that helps with deep cleaning.
