Earning Your Trust: Why We’re the Customer’s Choice for Medical Apparel and Linens

At the heart of a thriving outpatient healthcare center lies the delicate balance between patient satisfaction and the efficient management of essential resources. For office managers in such facilities, this includes ensuring the proper supply of top-notch medical apparel and linens. Choosing a reliable medical apparel and linens vendor is far from a minor detail; it’s the linchpin for success in today’s demanding healthcare landscape.

Nixon Medical has been at the forefront of medical apparel and linen rental and laundering services since 1967. In our five decades of service, we’ve embraced a fundamental truth: we’re more than a vendor to the outpatient centers we serve; we’re partners in fostering an environment that prioritizes safety, preparedness, and patient satisfaction.

With gratitude and a profound sense of responsibility, we’re humbled to announce that we’ve earned the title of “Customer’s Choice” through a recent study—a recognition that affirms our commitment to providing outpatient centers with high-quality service, known as the Nixon Medical Service Difference™.

• Communication: Communication is the cornerstone of any successful partnership. Nixon Medical places paramount importance on maintaining clear and consistent communication with our clients, including through our Three Points of Service Review.
• Cleaning (laundering): The cleanliness of linens is pivotal for the health and safety of patients. At Nixon Medical, our laundering process is HLAC-accredited, ensuring your linens are cleaned and sanitized by OSHA and CDC standards.
• Ironed linens: Crisp, professionally ironed linens are a crucial element in creating a welcoming and professional environment. Nixon Medical is committed to ensuring linens are well-maintained and impeccably presented.
