Healthcare Conference

The TRSA Annual Healthcare Conference is the premier laundry industry event focused on hospitals, surgery centers, medical offices, nursing homes and other medical facilities. This event attracts nearly 200 executives, decision makers and influencers from independent, regional, national and international operators responsible for processing more than 90% of North America’s healthcare linens and garments. Sessions cover most aspects of healthcare laundering operations and developments in patient care delivery, materials management, certification, infection control, regulation, plant systems, textile products and more.

Long-Term Care Outreach Materials
