Dialysis centers have to sustain a level of cleanliness to lessen their client's exposure to various infectious diseases.

Accusations of fraud or misconduct can put you out of business indefinitely. The litigation that follows these situations could be extensive, and the ensuing legal fees can result in large amounts of debt, which can ruin your business financially.
