Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/30/2017 -- ImageFIRST, a healthcare laundry specialist that supplies medical scrubs and uniforms in Lancaster, PA, and throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, recognized an associate that assisted police in rescuing a kidnapped baby on September 28th. The associate, who is employed at ImageFIRST's Los Angeles location, witnessed the incident taking place and intervened to help.

The incident occurred in San Diego, California. Local police confirmed that the father of a two-month-old baby seized the infant from his mother in Balboa Park. The father then held off officers with a knife and escaped.

The ImageFIRST associate, Ivan Garcia, helped to de-escalate the situation. After witnessing the kidnapping, he followed the father for over an hour, constantly communicating his position to police over the phone. Garcia gained the man's trust and calmed him down, giving the police enough time to arrive and arrest the man. No one involved in the incident was injured.

"Safety is one of our core values, both as individuals and as a company," stated Garcia. "At that moment, all I could think about was what I would want someone in that situation to do if that were one of my kids. I knew I had to do the right thing."

ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists' company Purpose is to build a great company by positively impacting the lives of their associates, their community, their customers, and their patients. This purpose extends itself from the workplace to the surrounding community, as demonstrated by Ivan Garcia.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/25/2017 -- ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists announced that they donated almost 1,000 backpacks to children in need this past July through their annual Backpack Donation Drive.

The purpose of the drive is to provide children in need with all the necessary supplies to go back to school and start the year successfully.

Participating ImageFIRST locations selected an organization or charity of their choice to donate backpacks and school supplies to. Each organization provided a list with the specific materials they needed to fill the backpacks.

The materials requested included school supplies such as composition/spiral notebooks, pencils, tissues, scissors, pencil cases, glue sticks/glue, rulers, folders, water bottles, hand sanitizer, tape, and crayons/colored pencils.

The ImageFIRST offices purchased all the backpacks and associates were responsible for purchasing the materials on the lists that were given to them from the organizations. This drive took place throughout the entire month of July, giving associates enough time to gather the donations and put the backpacks together to deliver them to their selected organization before the start of the school year.

Many ImageFIRST locations throughout the United States participated in the drive, with most locations donating at least 50 backpacks, and some donating well over 100. The Lancaster office donated 192 backpacks to Hands Across the Street, the North Carolina team donated 144 to Union Hill Elementary and Fairview Elementary, Atlanta associates donated 100 to Foster Cares, and the Corporate Office in King of Prussia donated 100 to Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2017 -- ImageFIRST, a national provider of medical uniforms and scrubs to medical facilities in areas such as Harrisburg, PA (and the rest of the US and Puerto Rico), announces the relaunch of their scrub and uniform program.

This revamped program was designed to address the various challenges that healthcare workers encounter when managing their staff's scrubs. Such challenges include running out of scrubs, incessant purchases of replacements, missing sizes, low-quality scrubs and the overall difficulty of managing a facility's entire scrub and uniform inventory.

As a part of the program, ImageFIRST offers a wide variety of scrub tops, bottoms and warm-up jacket styles in diverse colors and sizes. The scrubs are made by reputable manufacturers to ensure a high level of quality, and fabricated with color-fast fabrics to help preserve color and ensure that the tops and bottoms are matching. Customers are assured that their scrubs will maintain a consistent appearance throughout the facility.

Paired with ImageFIRST's hand inspection process, the program offers peace-of-mind that the uniforms will be of quality and in pristine condition for all staff members.

ImageFIRST's new program features the latest in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips, a safe and proven technology that provides real-time inventory reporting. RFID chips enable fast scanning and accurate tracking to help remove any potential human error in scrubs inventory maintenance. They also improve the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the scrubs program by identifying any extraneous inventory.

This scrub and uniform program is co-managed by an ImageFIRST dedicated representative to help alleviate the medical staff's workload. Medical facilities can also choose to use an optional Garment Guarantee Program for proactive and automatic replacement of scrub loss.

In addition to the scrub and uniform program, ImageFIRST offers healthcare laundry services for Washington, DC, and the surrounding areas (plus, throughout the rest of the US and Puerto Rico). Interested parties can learn more by visiting online at http://lancaster.imagefirst.com/.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/30/2016 -- Many commercial laundry providers claim to offer services that render healthcare textiles "hygienically clean." However, the term "hygienically clean" is defined differently from provider to provider, leaving no exact explanation for what the term really means. This factor makes the true cleanliness of "hygienically clean" healthcare textiles difficult to measure. With the utmost dedication to its customers and patients, ImageFIRST Lancaster, the leading provider of medical laundry products like nurses' uniforms in Harrisburg, PA and throughout the country, eschews vague definitions of cleanliness in favor of concrete standards of sanitization.

ImageFIRST Lancaster prides itself on providing its customers with healthcare textiles that are sanitized through a meticulous wash process, meaning that up to 99.999% of all pathogens are eliminated from textiles during the wash process. Knowing how integral a role that laundry plays in averting the spread of healthcare-associated infections, the company positions itself as a partner in customers' infection prevention plans through its AssuranceFIRST proposition, which ensures high-quality, sanitized linens every time.

Medical laundry products that medical facilities rent from ImageFIRST Lancaster, such as healthcare uniforms in Harrisburg, PA and beyond, are assured that the scrubs, gowns and linen they rent from ImageFIRST undergo a rigorous Triple BioShield Protection® laundry process, which entails a sanitizing wash, anti-bacterial coating and the sealing of all products in barriers prior to transportation. ImageFIRST also verifies the cleanliness of its products through regular independent laboratory testing.

ImageFIRST Lancaster puts patient care at the heart of what they do, which is why assisting customers with infection prevention is one of their top priorities. Medical facilities can depend on the laundry specialist to supply them with top-notch products that are truly sanitized.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/28/2016 -- ImageFIRST, the largest and fastest-growing healthcare linen provider in the nation, puts the patient experience at the center of all it does. This means, in part, providing high-quality, sanitized healthcare products like medical scrubs to inpatient and outpatient facilities in Washington, PA (and throughout the state and nationwide); but the linen rental and laundry service does so much more. Recognizing that patients are also community members, ImageFIRST locations across the US participate in quarterly community giving events. Recently, ImageFIRST Lancaster's first community giving event of the second quarter shattered a Guinness World Record.

On Mother's Day 2016, ImageFIRST Lancaster associates participated in the 27th annual Make-A-Wish Mother's Day Truck Convoy. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with serious medical conditions, making it a charity whose purpose is close to ImageFIRST's heart. The annual convoy raises funds to help the charity fulfill its mission. This year, Make-A-Wish representatives speculated that the fundraiser surpassed a goal of $350,000. Moreover, the gathering of 590 trucks officially made the event the largest truck convoy in history. ImageFIRST Lancaster recognizes their ability to participate in this record-shattering event as an honor.

In addition to Make-A-Wish, ImageFIRST donates time, money and in-kind donations to multiple charities across the nation, including Ronald McDonald House Charities, Habitat for Humanity and March of Dimes. In 2015 alone, ImageFIRST gave over half a million dollars in monetary and in-kind donations.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2016 -- In the medical industry, professionals and administrators are continuously looking for ways to positively impact patient care. The field has grown more competitive, with patients able to access real-time reviews of local facilities and consolidation-minded leadership. The landscape of healthcare is changing, those that are adapting are finding new opportunities in affecting the patient experience.

ImageFIRST Lancaster, purveyors of medical gowns, scrubs and uniforms in Bethlehem, PA and throughout the state, is helping medical facilities achieve their goals in providing patient comfort, infection prevention and other ways. In one recent study published in the American Journal of Infection Control, researchers found one interesting way to positively affect infection prevention.

Researchers, in an attempt to increase the quality of hand hygiene at a medical facility, found a new way to increase the number of medical professionals who washed their hands regularly. By placing messages encouraging staff to wash their hands in the screen savers of work computers, the study showed a marked increase in hand hygiene, which is shown to decrease the likelihood of site infection. The creative nature of the study, the out-of-the-box thinking the researchers employed and the results they gathered shows that innovative solutions don't have to be complicated or pricey, and can go a long way in enforcing infection prevention processes.

ImageFIRST Lancaster has found creative solutions and brought them to the medical industry: Innovative products or processes like their exclusive Triple BioShield Protection, the Instant Service App and their revamped Online Customer Portal; innovative services like Same Day Linen Rescue and in-facility linen management performed by customer advocates; and much more.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2016 -- In recent years, mobile Internet access, enabled by smartphones, has continued to drive consumers to be better informed about their purchasing decisions. Reviews of virtually every business, commercial or not, are accessible in seconds and are often viewed during an individual's decision process.

Healthcare facilities must take action as the transparency revolution unfolds. Online services like Yelp are fueling this shift, and use has grown exponentially. Yelp's reviews of healthcare services date back to 2004; however, more than half of those reviews were written in the past two years. The overwhelming majority of the authors of these reviews don't rate the efficacy of the care they received. Instead, they rate how they feel they were treated, rating factors like ease of billing, wait time, and professionalism of the facility's staff.

ImageFIRST Lancaster, offering medical linen services to Philadelphia and surroundings, is aiding healthcare facilities. By providing them with the tools to better the patient care experience, and reducing the amount of time healthcare professionals have to spend managing linens, these facilities are better equipped to thrive in a review-based atmosphere.

ImageFIRST Lancaster provides each facility they serve with Customer Advocates, company associates who not only pick up and deliver linen, but also stock and manage inventory and take care of other linen management tasks, freeing up facility staff to invest more time in caring for patients. ImageFIRST Lancaster isn't just a provider, they're a partner, helping medical facilities grow and adapt to new challenges in their shared industry.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2015 -- At ImageFIRST Lancaster, Customer Advocates are more than simply drivers and delivery people. By routinely delivering for the same clients on a regular schedule, many Customer Advocates become close with the hospitals and outpatient facilities to which they provide scrubs, robes and medical uniforms in Philadelphia, PA, and nearby – giving ImageFIRST Lancaster the opportunity to provide remarkable service by proactively anticipating and fulfilling clients' needs, not simply responding reactively.

Clients can take one example of the variety of exceptional service routinely provided by ImageFIRST Customer Advocates around the country, from a story told by Craig Turza of North Carolina. While out walking his dog, Turza discovered the office manager from one of the facilities he services struggling to unload heavy bags of topsoil and flowers from the trunk of her car. Perhaps reacting on instinct, Turza asked the manager where she wanted her items, then unpacked the trunk for her – prompting her to note that "Craig, you give me great service at work and now even at home!" along with profuse gratitude.

Taking their company ethos out of the workday with volunteer events and charitable donations is just one additional way that ImageFIRST strives to help clients provide incredible patient care. ImageFIRST Lancaster routinely participates in events like the annual Veteran's Expo and Job Fair or school supply drives.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- At ImageFIRST, healthcare laundry is at the forefront of the company's operations. ImageFIRST locations across the nation do not service hospitality, industrial or restaurant customers, and have chosen instead to focus 100% of their attention on providing remarkable customer care and products exclusively to inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities. With that in mind, ImageFIRST Lancaster is proud to announce that, as the companies they service with gowns, linens and nurses' uniforms in Harrisburg, PA, and nearby areas have seen their size and success grow, they have expanded their operations to better service their customers and accommodate their continued growth.

At ImageFIRST locations across the nation, company associates go above and beyond to ensure the quality of both customer care and product. Each item is carefully inspected for stains, holes and tears, and specialized product lines were designed specifically for patient comfort within the healthcare industry. The company also designed their laundering and product-handling processes to meet or exceed OSHA and CDC regulations. Now, the company has added additional facility locations to expand the scope of their services, without diminishing any of the quality.

The new ImageFIRST locations will be based in South Jersey (10,000 square feet), Maryland (3,000 SF), San Antonio (10,000 SF, a replacement for the former 4,000 SF facility), and an additional 50,000 square feet of contiguous space in Atlanta. The expanded space will allow for larger-scale operations, and will also contribute to the local economies of these areas by providing for new job opportunities within the facility and management. The switchovers to these new, larger facilities will happen between September and December, depending on the location.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2015 -- Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) cost hospitals a veritable mint each year; with over 1.7 million HAIs and $45 billion in related costs per annum, healthcare providers have understandably undertaken every effort to research and resolve this dangerous and pressing issue. Studies have revealed that up to 40% of HAIs are able to be traced back to the contaminated hands of healthcare workers, and in turn are often transferred to hospital materials touched by these employees. Upon further investigation, it has been revealed that cubicle curtains are very often contaminated with these pathogens, and thus often a likely vector for their dissemination. ImageFIRST Lancaster, a leading provider of healthcare laundry services in the Lancaster, PA, area and nationwide, has announced that it is now available to provide its innovative Cubicle Curtain Program to help local hospitals cut down on these preventable infections.

By providing hospitals with its specially-designed curtains, which can be changed in under 90 seconds without use of a ladder, ImageFIRST has made sanitation both simple and fast. The curtains, which come in customizable sizes, colors, and patterns, are embedded with UHF RFID technology in order for ImageFIRST representatives to document their replacements. The curtains are taken back to the company's cutting-edge processing facility, where they are cleaned, sanitized, and inspected.

As a company known as much for its quality of service as its product, ImageFIRST Lancaster's client representatives, called Customer Advocates, work closely with staff to ensure consistent supply of sanitized cubicle curtains. As consistently noted by testimonials from clients of ImageFIRST, Customer Advocates are known for providing exceptional service, often going above and beyond to ensure the care of ImageFIRST clients and their patients.

Lancaster, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/02/2015 -- As a young person, it's easy to take simple things like school supplies for granted – adults, however, know that the clothing, pens, pencils, notebooks, folders, binders, bags and other supplies required for a successful academic year require careful budgeting and thrifty shopping – and sometimes find they've fallen short. This year, recognizing the importance of being prepared for a new school year with the right supplies, healthcare laundry experts ImageFIRST hosted a nationwide backpack drive in order to help students and parents in need, with a large turnout and excellent donation results, including at the Lancaster location.

ImageFIRST has been providing medical practices nationwide with healthcare laundry services since 1967, and has in that time developed an excellent reputation for excellent service and quality products. The company boasts a 95% retention rate of its clients, the highest in the industry, and currently has 36 locations with over 600 employees. Their dedication to excellence, combined with nearly a half-century of experience, has made this family-owned company the largest and fastest-growing provider of healthcare laundry services, for which ImageFIRST excels in services offering quality products, linen inventory management, and regulation standards compliance – making them a one-stop-shop for medical facilities seeking rental and laundry services of healthcare linen and apparel.

ImageFIRST applies their commitment to excellence to outside the workplace as well as within, and strives to contribute to the well-being of the communities of their clients and employees. During the nationwide Annual Backpack Drive, the local ImageFIRST Lancaster location collected 149 backpacks, which will be donated to a local organization that helps needy children who might otherwise not be able to afford school supplies. ImageFIRST employees support numerous volunteering events for well-known charitable causes such as United Way, Habitat for Humanity, March of Dimes and Ronald McDonald House charities, amongst others.
