Is your facility losing money on linens?
If you manage a healthcare or hospitality facility in the Southeast, you know linens are more than just a budget item. They are vital for patient comfort, staff safety, and your facility’s reputation. Still, nearly 90% of hospital linens wear out early, costing over $840 million each year.
What if you could turn this challenge into savings and smoother operations? Facilities across the Southeast, from Tampa to Birmingham and Durham, are solving this issue by partnering with EverGreen Linen Solutions. EverGreen provides linen rental, distribution, garment cleaning, and direct sales. They use advanced technology, give personal attention, and bring deep expertise. That’s why so many facilities, especially in Tampa Bay, are making the switch.
