Choosing the right Healthcare Laundry Service
Your medical facility must be vigilant about infection control, and your commercial laundry service must be equally committed. Country Linen Service plays a critical role in your healthcare facility's infection prevention and control program by:
- Meeting or exceeding physical area requirements
- Maintaining clean work areas
- Properly collecting and transporting soiled linens, and
- Following a well-defined laundry cleaning process
Healthcare providers need the added protection of safe handling, hypoallergenic options, skilled staff, and modern laundry facilities that follow recommendations made by The Joint Commission.
"Leave the laundry to us, you have more important things to do!"
