The Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council is a nonprofit based in Plainfield, Illinois, that evaluates and accredits laundries handling reusable textiles for hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities. The HLAC accreditation is increasingly a prerequisite for becoming an authorized vendor, reflecting its emphasis on patient safety and infection prevention. Accreditation is valid for three years, and its standards are published and accessible on HLAC's website. For healthcare customers, HLAC accreditation provides assurance that their textile provider adheres to high industry standards and federal guidelines, contributing to a steady flow of clean textiles and safety for staff and patients.
