Cousino Medical Services was born from the expertise of Cousino Restoration, LLC and The Cousino Group, Inc., one of this area’s oldest, and largest property damage and disaster response contractors. Having been intensely focused on remediating and rebuilding medical facilities after property disasters large and small, Cousino Services teams developed key processes focused on the prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) resulting from construction, renovation, and maintenance activities. Additional investments in training and technology lead to CMS becoming the region’s only provider of SteraMist’s Cold-Plasma Decontamination Technology.
​Cousino Medical Services is the NW Ohio, SE Michigan and NE Indiana region’s only contractor dedicated solely to hospitals and medical care facilities for Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Response, and Infectious Outbreak control. Only Cousino combines over 40 years of emergency property damage and disaster response with intensive ICRA/PCRA expertise and the latest Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) prevention/response technology.
