GOLDEN, Colo., March 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Meritech, the leader in automated hygiene technology, announced its charitable partnership with DevelopmentalFX, a Denver based nonprofit providing unique, individualized therapy to children with a wide range of learning and developmental disabilities.

"We have been seeking a nonprofit partner that would provide a lens of accountability to our team in fulfilling our mission, vision, and cultural values, as well as provide opportunities for us to demonstrate our commitment to uplifting the health and wellness of those in our communities," says David Duran, Meritech CEO.
