Culver City-based Servicon remains at the frontline of the fight against COVID, working in conjunction with hospitals and healthcare facilities. No one can let their guard down to the virus just because inoculations are on the rise. COVID and its variants can still spread, and healthcare facilities and hospitals need to be prepared for an increasing number of visitors. Servicon is a leading front-line, caregiving, commercial cleaning, and disinfecting company with more than 1600 workers nationwide.
