At ImageFIRST Lancaster, Customer Advocates are more than simply drivers and delivery people. By routinely delivering for the same clients on a regular schedule, many Customer Advocates become close with the hospitals and outpatient facilities to which they provide scrubs, robes and medical uniforms in Philadelphia, PA, and nearby – giving ImageFIRST Lancaster the opportunity to provide remarkable service by proactively anticipating and fulfilling clients' needs, not simply responding reactively.

At ImageFIRST, healthcare laundry is at the forefront of the company's operations. ImageFIRST locations across the nation do not service hospitality, industrial or restaurant customers, and have chosen instead to focus 100% of their attention on providing remarkable customer care and products exclusively to inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities. With that in mind, ImageFIRST Lancaster is proud to announce that, as the companies they service with gowns, linens and nurses' uniforms in Harrisburg, PA, and nearby areas have seen their size and success grow, they have expanded their operations to better service their customers and accommodate their continued growth.

At ImageFIRST Lancaster, building a great company by becoming involved in and positively impacting the lives of their associates, communities, customers and their patients is a top priority. With almost 200,000 U.S. veterans transitioning out of the army each year, what better way to make an impact on communities – in which almost everyone knows a veteran – than by supporting events and organizations that seek to help returned military personnel access information about benefits and job opportunities? This year, ImageFIRST Lancaster has announced that it will be participating in the second annual Veterans' Expo and Job Fair in Lancaster, PA, to help provide employment information and support to these accomplished Veterans.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) cost hospitals a veritable mint each year; with over 1.7 million HAIs and $45 billion in related costs per annum, healthcare providers have understandably undertaken every effort to research and resolve this dangerous and pressing issue. Studies have revealed that up to 40% of HAIs are able to be traced back to the contaminated hands of healthcare workers, and in turn are often transferred to hospital materials touched by these employees. Upon further investigation, it has been revealed that cubicle curtains are very often contaminated with these pathogens, and thus often a likely vector for their dissemination. ImageFIRST Lancaster, a leading provider of healthcare laundry services in the Lancaster, PA, area and nationwide, has announced that it is now available to provide its innovative Cubicle Curtain Program to help local hospitals cut down on these preventable infections.

As a young person, it's easy to take simple things like school supplies for granted – adults, however, know that the clothing, pens, pencils, notebooks, folders, binders, bags and other supplies required for a successful academic year require careful budgeting and thrifty shopping – and sometimes find they've fallen short. This year, recognizing the importance of being prepared for a new school year with the right supplies, healthcare laundry experts ImageFIRST hosted a nationwide backpack drive in order to help students and parents in need, with a large turnout and excellent donation results, including at the Lancaster location.
