The Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) is a non-profit organization formed for the purpose of inspecting and accrediting laundries processing healthcare textiles for hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare facilities. Becoming accredited is an entirely voluntary process. The Council does not have members, but is comprised of a 12-person Board of Directors who serve on a voluntary basis.

HLAC’s mission is to publish high standards for processing healthcare textiles in laundries, and to provide an inspection and accreditation process that recognizes those laundries that meet these high standards. Click here to view our brochure.
