What matters most when choosing a healthcare linen provider?

Is it infection prevention and keeping patients safe?
Reliable, on-time deliveries your team can count on?
Consistent linen quality that holds up shift after shift?
Or third-party certifications that back it all up?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but your priorities shape your outcomes.

Not all healthcare linens are handled the same, and that matters more than most people think. HLAC and TRSA certifications set the standard for how linens are processed, cleaned, and delivered back into patient care environments. It’s not just about cleanliness. It’s about consistency, accountability, and safety at every step.

Here's why these certifications are so important: hcsc.org/what-hlac-and-trsa-certifications-mean-for-healthcare-linen-safety/

Certifications like HLAC and TRSA aren’t just labels. They show that your linen provider meets strict standards for cleanliness, safety, and consistency. That means better infection prevention support, fewer risks, and more confidence in what’s being used across your facility. When standards are verified, outcomes improve. It’s that simple.

Great to see sustainability in action 🌎

Sean and Vilma recently led an Earth Day presentation at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, sharing how HCSC’s laundering policies support greener, more sustainable healthcare operations. From water and energy efficiency to extending textile life, it’s all about making a real impact behind the scenes.

Sustainability in healthcare is not just a goal. It is a process built into everyday decisions.

This Earth Day, small changes add up to a big impact 🌎

At HCSC, sustainability is built into the everyday:
♻️ 576,207 lbs of plastic recycled annually
♻️ 848,196 lbs of linen repurposed into reusable rags

Less waste. Smarter systems. A cleaner future for healthcare. Because doing better for the environment is a part of doing better for patients.

Sustainability in healthcare doesn’t always start with big changes. Sometimes it starts with the textiles you use every day.

From reducing waste to improving linen lifespan, smarter textile programs can help facilities cut costs and support environmental goals at the same time. It’s a practical way to make a real impact without disrupting daily operations.

👇 What’s the biggest challenge in your facility?
• Improper disposal
• Linen hoarding
• Lack of education
• Inventory visibility

Strong linen committees don’t happen by accident.

A linen committee is a cross-functional group focused on managing linen use, reducing loss, and improving accountability across a facility. The most successful ones are built with the right support and structure. Leadership alignment. Reliable data. Teamwide involvement. Ongoing education. A focus on getting better every day.

That’s how a committee can produce real results for a facility.

Linen loss. Shortages. Constant reorders.

If your team is always reacting instead of managing, it might be time for a linen committee. A dedicated group can bring structure, accountability, and real cost control to your linen program.

Here are 3 signs it’s time to form one at your facility.

Behind the scenes of a privacy curtain change is where infection prevention really happens.

From careful removal to laundering that meets healthcare standards, every step plays a role. RFID tracking keeps each curtain accounted for, and clear documentation helps maintain compliance and visibility. Then curtains are reinstalled, clean and ready to support patient care.

It’s a process most people never see, but your patients and staff rely on it every day. See how a managed curtain program can simplify it all: hcsc.org/program/full-service-curtains/

Privacy curtains are one of the most frequently touched surfaces in a patient room, yet they’re often missed in routine cleaning.

Each touch adds risk for contamination and cross-contact. Without consistent laundering, curtains can hurt your infection prevention efforts.
