The award highlights BSCAI building service contractors among their network of more than 1,000 member companies who adhere to the Cleaning for Health system’s policies, procedures, and training programs, according to a news release.

Service by Medallion won the award once before in 2019. “Winning this award twice takes tremendous dedication,” said Jeff Stone, ProTeam National Sales Manager. “It demonstrates Service by Medallion’s strong commitment to reducing building contaminants and minimizing environmental impacts.”
