What’s the Quality of Air in Your Healthcare Facility?
Air Purification is Needed in Healthcare Facilities
It is crucial to have effective air purification in any healthcare facility that sees numerous patients a day including:
These facilities are frequently visited by people who are sick or immuno-compromised and are thereby more susceptible to airborne contaminants. This is especially true for facilities that care for the elderly. Poor air quality and increased risk of exposure to airborne pathogens and contaminants such as viruses and bacteria can put patients and staff at risk for serious infection.
Having air purifiers in the building not only helps remove the contaminants emitted from furniture and heating/cooling sources but also helps to eliminate aerosol particles released from sick patients, protecting both patients and staff and providing everyone peace of mind.
CDC, WHO, and EPA Recommendations for Air Purification
According to the CDC, WHO, and EPA air purifiers using HEPA and Carbon are the safest and most effective solutions for minimizing the spread of viruses in indoor spaces. The Medical Grade HEPA technology used in our filters is proven to remove up to 99% of all airborne contaminants as small as 0.1 microns, as well as everyday pollutants such as dust, dander and allergens. Austin Air uses up to 15 lbs. of activated carbon and 60 sq. ft. of HEPA in our filters. No one else in the industry comes close to using that much.

Clinically Proven to Capture and Destroy Airborne Contaminants and Viruses
Our involvement in clinical trials started in 2001 when we were selected by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the country’s number one children’s hospital, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, to take part in a clinical trial to improve children’s asthma symptoms and reduce visits to the ER.
Since then we have been involved in a number of trials, working with some of the country's leading institutions, including Johns Hopkins University and the University of Washington. The results of these trials confirm what we have known for many years. Running an Austin Air purifier removes a wide range of airborne pollutants and will help to improve respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD.

What Our Doctors Say About Austin Air
“I implemented Austin to optimize indoor air quality specifically keeping contagions to a minimum, removing mold spores and toxins brought in by patients, and removing solvents and particulate matter from outdoor air pollutions. Keeps our facility safe for chronically ill and asthma patients. I recommend your products to patients several times daily.”
- Dr. Julie Barter
“As a healthcare provider, I am concerned with airborne toxins because of their negative effects on overall health and their impacts on perpetuating chronic disease. I understand the health benefits of clean air and know how polluted our air is. After using the Austin Air Healthmate and Healthmate Plus, though, I noticed the air felt fresher and I did less dusting… I wouldn't go without them.”
- Dr. Melonni Dooley, ND
“I implemented Austin Air purifiers at my facility to create safe space for patients and staff at our vision clinic during the pandemic. To reassure patients that our office is using the best technology to filter the air and reduce risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission… I love having the unit at our office. It's worked flawlessly 24/7 for the past year and a half.”
- Dr. Susan Roh
"When the world shut down… I immediately looked for ways to make people feel safer in our clinic… I was incredibly grateful to find Austin Air. I bought two bedroom machines- one for my clinic and one for my home. In my clinic, our bedroom machine runs twenty-four hours a day. We keep it in the high traffic area… near the check in/out area… Besides being outdoors, no air is cleaner than in my clinic."
- Dr. J. L. Mierzwa
"I'm a functional medicine physician treating environmental illness. I purchased multiple units for my home and office...I live in Denver where wildfire smoke and other pollution are constant issues."
