TRADE ASSOCIATION NEWS USA ALM launches turnkey linen awareness programme
Debuting, hot off the mark on opening day of The Clean Show 2025, was the Association of Linen Management (ALM) trade-marked LinenCARE programme, a ready-made, behaviour-focused training resource for healthcare facilities, commercial laundries, and textile suppliers to strengthen linen management across the industry. LinenCARE will be available for preview at ALM Booth #2759.
The programme is designed for hospitals and healthcare systems seeking immediate impact without the heavy lift of building a programme from scratch. Packed with micro-learning videos, ready-to-use posters, linen handling guide, trivia challenges, and a manager’s playbook, LinenCARE equips facilities to
launch a professional-grade linen awareness campaign in under a week. But LinenCARE goes further than awareness. It drives linen action, turning knowledge into consistent habits at the point of use. The result? Engaged frontline teams, reduced linen waste, improved handling, and textiles that remain high-quality from cart to patient, according to ALM.
