Winter Weather Preparedness: Ensuring Your Linen Supply

Crown Health Care Laundry Services is here to support you as you care for your community during this winter?storm. With snow, sleet, and ice expected to impact our entire service area, we’ve taken proactive steps to ensure your facility’s linen needs are met. Although delivery schedules may require adjustments to ensure driver safety, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing reliable service, just as we have consistently demonstrated during previous storms. To help your facility prepare and maximize your linen resources during this time, we recommend the following steps:

Winter Weather Preparedness Tips for Your Facility

• Prioritize Linen Use: Temporarily limit linen usage in non-essential areas to preserve supplies for critical care.
• Secure and Conserve Linen: Lock up scrubs and other high-demand items, issuing them only as necessary. Encourage staff and patients to bring personal clothing for overnight stays when possible.
• Plan Ahead: Place linen orders early to avoid delays.
• Protect Your Linen: Avoid using valuable patient linens for cleanup. Instead, consider adding Crown rags to your order to conserve clean stock for patient care.
• Communicate Emergency Protocols: Please make sure your?staff are informed about emergency linen usage and distribution plans.
