Whether you’re a patient in a health care facility or a health care provider, you should be able to take comfort in the fact that everything from the bed linens patients lay on to the towels used and the uniforms worn are properly cleaned and regularly maintained. As a health care provider, if you want to ensure that the linens used in your facility are of the highest possible quality for your patients, it is essential to seek out a certified, experienced laundry service that operates with your patients’ comfort, your facilities’ safety and your business’ budget always in mind.  

Thankfully, there is Westport Linen, an exclusive health care laundry that has serviced Louisiana and Mississippi hospitals, clinics and long-term care facilities for over a decade.  

When it comes to quality that exceeds industry standards, Westport Linen provides a level of service that is unrivaled in the area. With its 48,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility located off Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge, Westport Linen is able to provide daily deliveries of bed linens, patient and scrub apparel. Not only does the factory play a key role in supporting the day-to-day linen needs of its customers, but it also prides itself on its infection prevention strategies for a number of major hospitals and clinics. Most recently, Children’s Hospital in New Orleans contacted Westport Linen Services to replace its previous linen cleaning vendor because of Westport Linen’s premier infection prevention practices. 

Accreditation sets service apart

Westport Linen is committed to serving customers with the highest degree of integrity and peace of mind that the linen delivered is hygienically cleaned. As one of the few health care laundries in the area accredited by the Health Care Laundry Accreditation Council, every product provided by Westport Linen is processed in compliance with the health and safety standards set by HLAC, The Joint Commission, OSHA, state regulations and the CDC. Westport Linen owners Eddie Lefeaux and John Landry take these standards to heart, making it their mission to guarantee the highest quality products on time and designed to meet customer needs.

To qualify for HLAC accreditation, a laundry must successfully pass an inspection of its facility, policies and procedures, training programs and relationships with customers. The principal benefit of being accredited is that an independent third party has inspected a laundry facility and found that it meets or exceeds the highest standards for processing health care textiles. The principal benefit to the health care customer is the knowledge and confidence that their textile provider is meeting or exceeding the highest standards for processing health care textiles in the industry, including strict adherence to federal government regulations and guidelines. Thanks to Westport Linen’s hard work to maintain its accreditation, its customers can confidently expect a consistent and smooth flow of clean textiles. 

Westport Linen is also proudly active in a number of associations and organizations that enhance their business and their customers’ businesses. These associations play an important role in supporting the growth of the health care industries they serve. These organizations include Hospital Linen Association (HOSLIN), National Management Board, Textile Rental Services Association of America, National Association of Institutional Laundry Management and American Reusable Textile Association. 

Unbeatable quality and protection

Proud providers of clean, high-quality, pressed linen at an affordable price, Westport Linen sets the standard for the industry. Unlike others in the industry, Westport Linen prides itself on the human touch. Employees take charge of the laundry process, feeding each piece of linen into folding devices and inspecting each item for stains and tears. The quality inspection process ensures that every customer delivery includes only high-quality linen. 

Westport Linen is committed to helping to reduce the risk of health care-associated infections, or HAIs, that patients acquire while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions. These infections are among the leading causes of preventable deaths in the United States each year. Westport Linen’s strict procedures ensure a consistently clean and sanitized finished product for customers.  

Look no further

Westport Linen specializes in providing today’s top health care facilities with reusable linen and uniform programs. These programs are specially designed to improve patient and customer satisfaction, minimize a health care facility’s cost and enhance that facility’s professional image. Westport Linen provides hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices and long-term care facilities with quality linen uniforms at a competitive price. Servicing health care facilities and hundreds of physician offices, Westport Linen processes and distributes 16 million pounds of health care linens per year. 

The biggest benefit of the service provided by Westport Linen is the savings a health care facility will experience upon hiring Westport Linen. A facility can save on costly capital investments on equipment, maintenance, linen inventory or staffing, which allows health care facilities to better manage costs by carefully budgeting through Westport Linen’s services. Additionally, Westport Linen’s reusable linen program provides facilities with clean linen based on each facilities usage. They also provide customized uniforms and dust control entrance mats to customers. 

Investing in a laundry service is a smart choice for facilities that want to reduce their environmental footprint. As a member of the American Reusable Textile Association, which advocates responsible use of reusable linens in place of the disposable options, Westport Linen specializes in reusable textiles that offer the benefits of security, comfort and conservation, all within a customer’s budget.
