Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council

The Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) is a nonprofit organization that sets and maintains quality standards for healthcare laundry services. Its goal is to ensure that linens, uniforms, and other textiles used in healthcare settings are properly cleaned and disinfected to prevent infections. Facilities that meet HLAC’s rigorous standards can become accredited, demonstrating their commitment to high-quality, safe laundry practices. This helps healthcare providers protect patients and staff from health risks associated with contaminated laundry, promoting overall safety and hygiene within medical environments.
