Our founder’s grandmother lost her life to a C Diff
infection that she acquired while staying in a hospital.
We learned C Diff infections are common in hospitals
and entirely preventable with access to soap and
water. In a hospital, it can be tough for patients to
have access to wash their hands, especially when
they're confined to a bed.
We created The Portare to make portable
hand-washing more accessible and save the lives
of grandparents everywhere.
