New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/22/2017 -- ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists' Chicago location recently donated gowns to the Granger Christian School, a college preparatory school in Indiana.

The national medical linen and laundry provider offers healthcare laundry services in Staten Island, NY and throughout the nation, and also participates in ongoing community giving activities throughout the year.

As part of their normal, everyday processes, ImageFIRST associates hand-inspect every sanitized gown that they provide to their medical facility customers. They ensure only gowns in pristine condition are selected and individually wrapped in preparation for delivery. Patient gowns that may be missing ties, or have rips, permanent stains, or other defects are retired and usually discarded.

When ImageFIRST learned that the spouse of one of their customers, a teacher at Granger Christian School, was in need of a linen donation, ImageFIRST associates took clean yet unfit-for-delivery gowns to the school for donation. Pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students used the repurposed medical gowns as smocks when working on arts and crafts.

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness in donating the gowns to our school's art program," stated Granger Christian School employee Lindsay Davis. "We use them every day, not only in the art room but also in the classrooms. We are so grateful for your generosity."

ImageFIRST provides comprehensive medical linen and laundry services, including the distribution of healthcare gowns in New York City and other locations nationwide, and puts its community at the heart of its company Purpose.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/18/2017 -- On July 26, associates from ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists' Corporate Office volunteered with Cradles to Crayons in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Cradles to Crayons is a charitable organization with locations in Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia that donates clothes, shoes, school supplies, and other necessities to children living in poverty. The purpose of this organization is to supply children in low-income situations with the items that they need to thrive in school, at home, and at play.

Cradles to Crayons connects with local volunteers to deliver essential items to children in need. They begin by collecting new and nearly new children's items at community drives. They then welcome volunteers to package and process these goods in their warehouse, The Giving Factory. From there, these items are distributed to disadvantaged children in the area through a collaborative network of diverse service partners.

ImageFIRST associates gathered at Cradles to Crayons' Philadelphia location to sort new and nearly new children's clothing. One of ImageFIRST's associates that volunteered at the warehouse stated in a thank you email, "There are over 300,000 children living in poverty in the Philadelphia area alone. The work we did yesterday helped supply some of those kids with the essentials they need."

Associates from ImageFIRST's Corporate office regularly participate in community giving events. Their recent work with Cradles to Crayons was one of the three planned for the summer. In June, associates volunteered at MANNA in Philadelphia and in August, they plan to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity in August.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/03/2017 -- ImageFIRST, a nationwide provider of medical linen, scrubs and uniforms from New York City to Los Angeles, recently explained how being a values-driven company matters after an associate exemplified one of ImageFIRST's core values, "Be Honest."

In early January, an ImageFIRST New Jersey representative was made aware of a customer's lost valuable item. A staff member at the customer's facility reported that she had lost her diamond tennis bracelet in her scrubs pocket. The representative searched for the bracelet, but was unable to find it.

However, another ImageFIRST New Jersey associate found the bracelet just before it made its way into the washer, and notified their manager and the representative immediately. The bracelet was promptly returned, and the customer expressed gratefulness to retrieve something so valuable.

Coincidentally, the team at ImageFIRST New Jersey had just been discussing the ImageFIRST Value "Be Honest" during their daily huddle. The remaining three Values at ImageFIRST are "Be Remarkable," "Be Respectful" and "Be Safe." Each day the company stresses the importance of those four tenets in regular team huddles and through example-setting.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2016 -- A recent article in the American Journal of Infection Control titled, "Using medical student observers of infection prevention, hand hygiene, and injection safety in outpatient settings: A cross sectional survey," proves that a high level of emphasis must continue to be placed on infection prevention quality improvements in outpatient settings. Evidently, facilities continue to struggle with implementing more proactive solutions to eliminate the possible spreading of infections. Outpatient facilities are encouraged to enhance their sanitation support via linen rental and laundry service providers, such as ImageFIRST New York, who offers a 99.999% reduction in pathogens when they wash, for example, patient gowns, lab coats and medical scrubs in New York City.

Impressively, the display of screen savers with gain-framed messages have been effective in improving hand hygiene, although the design of the screen savers has not been studied yet. The scientific method involves specific guidelines that were developed for the design of the screen saver, and was intended to subconsciously influence hand hygiene behavior. The first screen saver was used to obtain the attention of the subject while the second was meant to exert peer pressure. The study's results reveal that screen savers designed in line with the specific guidelines attract a significant amount of attention from subjects and their effect lasts over a remarkable period of time.

The format, color, and style have been shown to draw attention to a screen saver's visual and text elements which, in turn, evoke feelings of peer pressure. Pictures of local peers and patients evidently serve as role models for invoking peer pressure. The study concludes that screen savers designed according to scientific propositions for visual attention and peer pressure have the potential to alter hand hygiene behavior.

ImageFIRST New York thrives on innovating in the field of sanitized linen rental and laundry services. ImageFIRST New York has developed service standards based on the industry's best practices by implementing their exclusive Triple BioShield Protection, 5-Point Quality System and more. ImageFIRST New York does not simply provide "drivers" but, rather, Customer Advocates who provide encompassing services such as inventory control and management, as well as the comprehensive delivery and stocking of products, such as lab coats and scrub uniforms in New York City.

The linen rental and service provider's easy-to-use, Instant Service App, Same Day Linen Rescue services, and accommodating Online Customer Portal, should encourage any healthcare system to pursue their convenient and dependable sanitized linen solutions.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/30/2015 -- Increasing patient satisfaction has always been the primary focus of medical providers, both out of compassion and because patient happiness with services provided can be tied to hospitals' success rates. When steps are taken to improve patient perception of a facility, that facility's overall ranking is likely to improve, influencing funding and other important aspects of running a medical care center. Small details can greatly impact patients' reported opinions of the care they've received, and with ImageFIRST New York's remarkable healthcare laundry services and products, serving New York City with medical scrub uniforms and other products, area hospitals and outpatient clinics can take an affordable, simple step towards making patients comfortable and thus bettering their scores on important surveys.

One such survey that will become important to ambulatory surgery facilities and outpatient surgery centers within the next year will be the OAS CAHPS, recently approved for implementation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The survey, which will be mandatory starting in 2017, but available for voluntary distribution in 2016, will measure patients' experiences at these specific types of medical facilities, and can contribute to a hospital's reputation, ranking and funding.

ImageFIRST's unique products and services have been shown to increase patient perception of facilities, in particular their Comfort Care line of incredibly soft, cozy patient robes and gowns. In one study, a facility that made the switch to Comfort Care products saw a 400% increase in positive patient feedback on surveys afterwards! In addition to direct benefits to patients, ImageFIRST's remarkable customer care provided by Customer Advocates, who both deliver and stock products, can help hospitals save time to focus on what really matters: their patients.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2015 -- Every year, breast cancer survivors and their family and friends gather to raise money and awareness, as well as support one another, at the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Breast Cancer Walk. The aim of the event is twofold – not only do breast cancers survivors and those affected by the disease have the chance to meet others in similar situations and share their experiences, but they can also raise funds that go directly to the American Cancer Society's research and outreach programs. This year, ImageFIRST New York, which supplies sanitized linens, gowns and medical uniforms in Brooklyn, and the rest of NYC, is proud to announce that employees from their location participated in the Newark, New Jersey, Making Strides fundraising walk.

On Sunday, October 18th, the ImageFIRST New York associates, as well as associates from the New Jersey location, braved the cold weather with their friends and families and turned out to walk and show support at the NJ Devil's Championship Plaza Prudential in Newark. With over 20,000 participants, this year's walk raised over $400,000 for breast cancer research, education, preventative care and outreach. Participants fund-raised in advance of the walk, which was either 3 or 5 miles long; many participants joined up in large organization-based groups, fundraising from friends, family and coworkers alike to contribute to this excellent cause.

At ImageFIRST New York, and other locations nationwide, customers and community are at the heart of the company's purpose; associates are encouraged to participate in volunteer opportunities in their towns and nearby locations, as well as given opportunities to take part in company-wide volunteer days and other special events. Whether raising funds for cancer research or contributing their time and resources to local charity, staying in touch with their community is just one of the ways that ImageFIRST and its associates provide truly remarkable service.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/31/2015 -- Infection Control Today, a leading infection prevention publication, recently reported on OSHA compliance by healthcare laundry service providers in an article titled "Imperatives for Staying OSHA-Compliant in the Healthcare Laundry." Mishandling of laundry services, such as during a recent incident in a NY-based laundry facility that compromised the health and safety of its employees, can have damaging and even fatal consequences, while adhering to OSHA imperatives for the handling of contaminated laundry can do much to prevent healthcare-acquired infections. ImageFIRST New York has shared this article amongst its associates and clients alike to help demonstrate the importance of handling healthcare laundry in a fully compliant, responsible manner.

In ImageFIRST's AssuranceFIRST philosophy, in just one aspect of their 5-point Product Quality system the company promises clients to always focus on even the smallest details of the laundry quality in order to provide remarkable product and customer care. The mishandling of laundry at the New York facility was resultant from one such "tiny detail," in which the replacement of sturdy laundry bags with cheaper, thinner versions ended in the risk of employee and patient exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Other crucial OSHA guidelines were also ignored at the facility.

ImageFIRST New York, an OSHA-compliant healthcare laundry service, follows the regulations outlined in the Infection Control Today article, which include bagging laundry on-site in a clearly-labeled, leak-proof container, marked with a label that is readily understood by all laundry handlers (such as a biohazard symbol or bright red text), and limiting employee exposure to unbagged laundry and even laundry containers, to reduce the risk of accidental exposure. Above all, the company prioritizes upholding a culture of safety, which prioritizes employee and patient health above all other goals.

For more information on the OSHA-compliant practices of ImageFIRST New York, including but not limited to the company's unique Triple BioShield Protection process, in which up to 99.999% of biocontaminants are killed so that each linen or gown is sanitized, visit http://newyork.imagefirst.com.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2015 -- New York, the inspiration for Gotham City, no longer counts only Batman as its resident super hero. Captain Remarkable, has made his debut as the spandexed-and-caped face of, and cheerleader for, ImageFIRST associates across the country, including those at the ImageFIRST New York. Through a video available online, "Captain Remarkable Flies Again!," ImageFIRST helps clients understand what makes them both different and remarkable – namely, their unique company ethos, which advocates that, above all, their associates "Be Respectful. Be Remarkable. Be Safe. Be Honest."

In the video, viewers learn about the myriad different ways in which nationwide ImageFIRST associates go above and beyond to provide superior service and true customer care to the clients they work with every day, making timely, cheerful deliveries of healthcare laundry linens, gowns, robes, scrubs and other materials. Captain Remarkable speaks with associates and Customer Advocates in order to provide viewers with a larger picture of how ImageFIRST's company purpose translates to their daily work.

The purple-clad superhero also makes the rounds of select ImageFIRST clients, to provide insight as to the positive relationships formed between Customer Advocates and those they serve.
