There’s no room for shortcuts when it comes to healthcare textiles. The quality and safety of every sheet, gown, and towel directly impact patient outcomes, and that starts long before they reach a patient’s room.

HLAC-accredited laundries continually meet the highest standards for producing hygienic linen from handling and sorting to washing, finishing, and delivery.

Because patient safety starts long before the bed is made.

When it comes to healthcare laundry accreditation, HLAC stands alone in its commitment to safety, integrity, and accountability.

•Independent and healthcare-focused leadership: governed by Infection Preventionists, operators, suppliers, and subject-matter experts.
•Built on national standards: grounded in CDC, OSHA, and AAMI guidelines, never internal trade rules.
•Operational oversight and education: accredited laundries must prove, not just promise, hygienic results.
•Certified Hygienic Testing option: reinforcing a focus on long-term safety and quality.

Choosing an HLAC-accredited laundry means choosing a partner dedicated to the highest standards in healthcare linen processing.
