This month, CITY Healthcare proudly achieved the Hygienically Clean Healthcare certification—a nationally recognized designation that confirms our commitment to protecting patient safety through the highest standards in textile laundering. For our team, this isn’t just a milestone—it’s a reflection of the care and diligence we put into serving the healthcare industry daily.

"This certification means everything to CITY Healthcare," General Manager John Majchzak said. "It shows what we can do here at CITY Healthcare. It shows what we have gone through to achieve such an honor and operationally what standard we can bring to our customers."

Why This Certification Matters

The Hygienically Clean Healthcare certification is awarded by an independent, third-party organization and confirms that CITY Healthcare adheres to the most stringent industry protocols to ensure infection control and textile cleanliness.

To earn this designation, CITY Healthcare underwent a rigorous evaluation process. This included on-site inspections of our documented quality assurance procedures and laundering best practices, along with confirmation of our OSHA compliance and legal adherence. Inspectors also verified that our employees are properly trained and protected and that our facility operates with effective safeguards across all critical control points. Finally, CITY Healthcare successfully passed three rounds of outcome-based microbial testing, which confirmed that our laundering process effectively eliminates harmful bacteria and meets hygienic cleanliness standards.

CITY is now subject to ongoing quarterly testing to ensure consistency and continuous compliance as conditions evolve—whether that’s water composition, chemical formulas, or textile materials.

Setting a Higher Standard for Our Clients

For hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, nursing homes, and other healthcare providers, every textile matters. The Hygienically Clean Healthcare certification provides peace of mind, confirming that linens, gowns, and uniforms processed by CITY Healthcare meet or exceed industry cleanliness benchmarks.

This achievement reflects more than just technical performance—it represents our culture of accountability, our investment in advanced systems, and our dedication to our clients.

"We have always held ourselves to a high standard but what is more important is that we have an accreditation that proves how we operate," Director of Communication Emily Hauber said. "It is just as important to want to have the right operations, it's another thing to have a third party validate that belief. This is a great accomplishment for everyone at CITY Healthcare and we are excited to bring an elevated level of service to the healthcare community in our region."

Earning the Hygienically Clean Healthcare certification reinforces CITY Healthcare’s role as a trusted partner to healthcare providers. It confirms that our team has the training, systems, and technology in place to consistently deliver hygienically clean textiles that meet the demands of modern healthcare.
