ABOUT HLAC
The Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) is a nonprofit organization that inspects and accredits laundries processing textiles for hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities. The principal benefit to healthcare customers is the knowledge and confidence that their textile provider is meeting the highest standards for processing healthcare textiles in the industry, including strict adherence to federal government regulations and guidelines. The customer can expect a consistent and smooth flow of clean textiles; and, ultimately, the knowledge of safety for their employees and the end user – the patient.
