Our Staff
Our staff—including a management team and 36 full-time union employees—produces more than 10 million pounds of linen service each year. That is 110-
What we do
We capably produce this quantity of linen because of our investment in both people and state-of-the-art equipment.
How we do it
Our people are trained laundry professionals, dedicated to exceeding our customers’ expectations with prompt, reliable service. Community Hospital Services and its staff of professionals are members of the Saginaw Chamber of Commerce, Michigan Chamber of Commerce, and two industry-recognized laundry organizations, IATHM and NAILM.
Our facilities showcase state-of-the-art laundry equipment. With the 2005-addition of a tunnel washer system, and with updated folders, along with significant updates in our soil sort department and computers throughout the plant, we efficiently process linen and offer value-added services to our member hospitals.
How our customers benefit
Our investment in people and our state-of-the-art equipment directly affects our customers—we offer fair, competitive pricing on a quality product that exceeds customer needs.
Because Community Hospital Services staffs the fewest management positions out of any similar laundry service in the United States and Canada, we’re not “top heavy” with management plus we added an employee incentive program that together has increased our production efficiencies. We pass these savings directly onto our member hospitals in the form of a competitive per-pound charge.
We standardize most of the products we launder for our member hospitals (although specialty items are available upon request) in order to streamline production and receive large-volume discount pricing when we purchase. Because our state-of-the art equipment allows us to process greater laundry volume and, in turn, generate additional revenue, we lower the overall cost we charge our customers for linen service.
We’re not motivated by large profit margins; we’re motivated to provide the highest quality product at a fair, competitive price.
