Linen Services

Driven by a focus on quality for the patient

Patient-centered. Implementing feedback from health-care employees. State-of-the-art infection prevention and control. These are some of the hallmarks of 3sHealth Linen Services.

This service line manages the health system linen contract with K-Bro Linen Systems Inc. to supply 160 facilities with over 29 million pounds of linen annually. The team carries out independent quality testing and facilitates product and process improvement, as well as provincial standardization.

There are many such improvements that have resulted from Linen Services’ work with its health-care partners, including:

• Transitioning to more sustainable isolation gowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, an improvement that ensures employee safety and that stockpiles last longer;
• Introducing bigger, softer, and gentler facecloths for residents in long-term care facilities; and
• Standardizing and improving the quality of fitted slider sheets, a health-care employee-led improvement that supports both employee safety and increases patient comfort.
