KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., August 25, 2021 – ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists, a leading provider of laundry services for the healthcare industry, announced today the launch of the company’s first annual HeroesFIRST campaign.

As an industry leader with a steadfast commitment to Infection Prevention, ImageFIRST will honor those in the field who have gone above and beyond, even in the face of adversity, to keep their communities safe. Hundreds of exceptional nominations were submitted by ImageFIRST Customer Advocates and Service Team Leaders that detailed inspiring stories of professionals who are tirelessly committed to managing Infection Prevention at the facilities that they serve. Eight outstanding individuals were selected and will be featured on ImageFIRST’s website for a nationwide vote, including:

Following the nationwide vote, the finalist with the most votes will be awarded a $5,000 grand prize with a corresponding donation of PPE materials best suited to their facility. The other seven finalists will each receive $1,000 and a donation for their exceptional work.
“The remarkable Infection Prevention professionals that our associates work with every day are a constant source of inspiration for us and, after such an unprecedented and challenging 18-months, we felt their tireless work needed to be recognized in a big way,” said Jim Cashman, President and CEO of ImageFIRST. “We look forward to HeroesFIRST becoming an annual way for us to say thank you and acknowledge the tremendous work being done by healthcare workers to keep their communities safe.”
