Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/22/2018 -- ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists, a healthcare laundry service provider that serves medical facilities in Long Beach, CA, and other regions across the United States and Puerto Rico, shares observations on industry consolidation and change management in the healthcare industry.

Growing health systems are continuing to merge and expand, changing the industry landscape, and with it, the future of healthcare, says ImageFIRST. The medical linen provider advised customers that change management in healthcare is "the new normal," and shared insights on the nature of these changes and how to approach them.

Among the most notable of these changes discussed in a variety of news outlets last year is the growing emphasis on consumerism in healthcare. For example, an increasing number of patients use apps to compare and review healthcare providers in the same way they might decide on a restaurant. Heightened consumerism has shown to be increasing competition among healthcare providers; therefore, providers who offer high-quality care at lower prices will win the most customers.

ImageFIRST also notes that high deductibles plans have been on the rise. As a result, patients are increasingly seeking care at outpatient facilities, since hospitals are too expensive for those who are not seriously ill to spend an extended period of time there. High deductible plans appear to also increase consumerism and will, as a result, encourage patients to shop for quality and value.

All these changes impact medical professionals and in turn, can sometimes have an adverse effect on staff – as change often does. But when companies face change, active change management is more effective in keeping stress levels down and staff engaged than reactively reacting. In fact, research shows that change management at a large scale is most effective with the input and engagement of staff members at all levels of the organization.

ImageFIRST provides medical laundry management solutions to customers across the country. As a provider of scrubs, patient gowns, healthcare bed linens and blankets, and other products in San Diego, CA (and beyond), ImageFIRST's services are designed to take the burden of linen management away from medical staff so that they can focus on patient care.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2017 -- The Los Angeles location of ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists, which provides medical laundry services in San Diego and nearby areas, created and hosted an in-house community event from June 5th through the 9th in support of the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is a national childhood cancer foundation that is dedicated to spreading awareness and raising funds for research into new treatments and cures for children battling cancer.

Alex's Lemonade Days, founded by Alex Scott (1996-2004) in 2004, grew out of Alex's front yard lemonade stand and eventually became a week-long national event. Every June, an estimated 10,000 volunteers host over 2,000 Alex's Lemonade Stands across the nation to make a difference and raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. This year, the national event was set for June 3rd through the 11th.

Sandra Barrios, an office manager with ImageFIRST, decided to begin hosting a lemonade stand during Alex's Lemonade Days because of her nephew, who was diagnosed with leukemia at two years old.

The ImageFIRST lemonade stand was designed by associates at the LA office who chose to sell fresh Mexican water and lemonade in the office all week. Flavors included cucumber, jicama, tamarind, and melon, reflecting the rich heritage of the office.

Also, the associates volunteered to cook and sell several dishes to raise more funds. Dishes included pozole, sopes, pupusas, Salvadorian tamales, hamburgers, hot dogs, and pastries. All food items sold out every day that the stand was running.

The goal of the stand was to raise $500, but the ImageFIRST associates surpassed that by raising almost $900.

ImageFIRST Los Angeles is one of several national locations that provides medical linen rental and laundry services to medical facilities throughout the United States. Each ImageFIRST location participates quarterly in community giving events to continue their support of their local charity organizations and their communities.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2017 -- ImageFIRST Los Angeles, a medical laundry and linen service and provider of medical uniforms near Long Beach, CA, held a toy drive for Grant Elementary School in Long Beach, CA, on Tuesday, December 20, 2016.

A week before the toy drive took place, the school's principal attended the company's weekly huddle to help prepare the associates for the drive, and explained that most of the children who attend Grant Elementary come from low-income families.

The drive kicked off with associates heading to a local store in the morning to purchase toys. Over 30 associates attended the drive with their family members. ImageFIRST raised a total of $11,000 for the toy drive, half of which was raised by the associates and the other half was matched by ImageFIRST.

The principal of Grant Elementary School stated that he was grateful that the school was chosen by ImageFIRST Los Angeles as their charity of choice for the 2016 holiday season. He explained that he was especially thankful because many of the school's families have to make the tough decision between either putting food on the table or purchasing gifts for their children during the holidays.

ImageFIRST Los Angeles and all other locations across the United States and Puerto Rico organize quarterly community service events, and donate both their time and money to groups such as the Ronald McDonald House Charities, Habitat For Humanity, March Of Dimes and many others.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/19/2016 -- ImageFIRST Los Angeles is much more than a provider of patient gowns, scrubs, and healthcare uniforms in Rancho Cucamonga, CA and surrounding areas. This remarkable healthcare laundry specialist provides laundry services that far exceed the medical industry's standard infection prevention standards and actively helps medical facilities with their best-in-class laundry services.

ImageFIRST's infection prevention practices consist of their 5-Point Product Quality System and Triple BioShield Protection process. These practices, which include safeguards such as independent laboratory testing, individually sealing gowns, a sanitizing wash that kills 99.999% of pathogens and much more, help healthcare facilities keep patients healthy.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2016 -- What do Brian Urlacher and ImageFIRST LA, the healthcare laundry services provider known for their nurses' uniforms in Anaheim, CA, have in common?

While most people would puzzle at the thought of comparing an NFL hero with a top of the line healthcare laundry services provider, what lies at the foundations of what they stand for are ultimately the same things: quality, legacy and excellence. Therefore, when ImageFIRST LA heard that Urlacher wore one of their famous teal gowns while recently undergoing a procedure, it came as no surprise to them.

Evidence of Brian Urlacher wearing the gown can be seen around the three-minute mark in this video.

ImageFIRST LA's high-quality gowns are designed to be as comfortable as they are effective, which enhances the experience of the patients who wear them—whether or not they are sports stars. When patients feel comfortable in their gowns, they tend to view their healthcare facility visits as positive ones overall. ImageFIRST LA values patient experience above all, and delivers by making their gowns out of the best fabrics available. They also come in a variety of colors and sizes, giving patients the opportunity to make individual choices during a time when they might otherwise be few and far between.

Whether or not they are a sports hero, ImageFIRST LA makes sure that whoever is wearing one of their gowns feels like a star. For more information about the gowns, medical uniforms or scrubs in Anaheim, CA, please visit their website, or call 800-932-7472.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/27/2016 -- Every year in December, ImageFIRST LA associates join up before the holidays to pay a visit to famous toymaker Mattel, purchasing gifts to give as donations to children in need. While the company traditionally dropped these presents off at a firehouse after each year's trip, associates decided it was time to do more. For Christmas of 2015, ImageFIRST LA, which provides scrubs, gowns, linens, and nurse uniforms in Long Beach, CA, and nearby areas, partnered with Victory Outreach to provide gifts to even more children in the area.

As a church dedicated to those struggling with addiction, Victory Outreach worked with ImageFIRST LA to create flyers and put out notices within their community, with the end goal of reaching as many children as possible. ImageFIRST LA associates then visited Mattel to pick up toys, and later brought them to the church. The company was ultimately able to provide gifts for over 1,000 needy children, and also spent the day cooking, chatting, and enjoying the time with the participants and recipients of the very successful toy drive.

ImageFIRST locations across the country strive to know their clients and communities on a deeper level than simply as business partners; each year, the company participates in dozens of charitable endeavors, from fundraising for efforts to end homelessness to participating in walks to end cancer.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2015 -- When it comes to providing for patient comfort at hospitals and outpatient facilities alike, it can often be the little touches that make the biggest difference. Details that make patients feel as if healthcare professionals are truly considering their needs can greatly increase overall satisfaction with the care they have received. With this idea in mind, ImageFIRST LA, a provider of healthcare laundry services serving LA and surrounding regions, has announced the launch of a cozy pink plush robe-style patient gown, a new addition to their Comfort Care line and a nod to Breast Cancer Awareness month.

The gown, perfect for OB/GYN practices, Oncology Centers, Women's Health Centers and Imaging/Breast healthcare providers, is full-cut, warm and cozy, all features carefully designed with patient preferences and comfort in mind. Made with the same unique, unbelievably soft fabric used in all Comfort Care patient gowns, this gown comes with an additional benefit: for every gown rented in October 2015, ImageFIRST will donate to the Susan G. Komen® Foundation, supporting breast cancer research.

The ImageFIRST Comfort Care line, first launched in 2014, was uniquely designed with patient experience and satisfaction in mind. This exclusive line of gowns uses a fabric that is soft on skin as well as warm, helping provide patients with a cozy feel that can help lessen nerves and increase physical comfort in a clinical environment. These gowns are so effective at improving overall patient satisfaction that ImageFIRST promises that facilities switching to the Comfort Care products will see up to 50% improvement in their patients' perception of their healthcare facility compared with previous gowns – or they'll get a free month of service.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/02/2015 -- Earlier this year, conservative challenges to the Affordable Care Act led to worries that, should these challenges be upheld in front of the Supreme Court, the entire law as presented by President Obama would be virtually destroyed. The financial aspect in question, which involved government subsidies for people who purchased their insurance in a marketplace "established by the state," was a necessary factor in ensuring the health of the Affordable Care Act. ImageFIRST LA, as a provider of healthcare laundry services, applauds the Supreme Court decision to allow insurance subsidies created by Obamacare to be offered in state and federal health care exchanges, as well as marketplaces. This ultimately means continued coverage for Americans everywhere.

Should the Supreme Court have failed to uphold this crucial financial aspect of the law, millions of Americans would have lost their insurance, rendering them financially unable to visit hospitals and outpatient centers to receive treatment. This would have ultimately decreased options for all Americans and lowered the quality of care. ImageFIRST LA, as a company that uniquely provides laundry to medical facilities, commends the SCOTUS decision.

The medical facilities that will remain unaffected by conservative challenges to Obamacare range from hospitals to various outpatient treatment facilities. ImageFIRST provides laundry and linens to all types of healthcare establishment; their patient gowns, scrubs and warm-up jackets, lab coats, surgical gowns and towels, bed and bath linens and other products are all specially designed and cleaned using the company's Triple BioShield Protection process to ensure the utmost in sanitation. The company is renowned for its customer care and dedication to complete patient satisfaction.

The event, part of a week long vigil, was held at the Old Colorado Boulevard Bridge in Pasadena, California, due to the bridge's infamy as a location of more than 150 suicides by both veterans and civilians. During the event, veterans took turns standing watch over the bridge to honor the fallen as well as represent support for those struggling with PTSD and depression. Twenty-eight ImageFIRST - South LA employees, along with 27 of their friends and family members, attended the event wearing camo-patterned shirts to show support, and in the hopes of raising awareness for the cause.
