Cedar Rapids, IA -- (SBWire) -- 05/18/2016 --ImageFIRST Cedar Rapids is a premier supplier of medical scrubs in Des Moines, IA, and is one branch within a number of locations nationwide that are helping healthcare providers through an unflagging focus on the patient experience. Recently, ImageFIRST took note of a trend among facilities that entails cutting back on costs by taking over services once provided by external vendors. ImageFIRST's South East Regional Vice President and National Service Director, Jay Juffre, explained why that might not be such a good idea.

According to Juffre, who said that healthcare providers tend to immediately cut services when they want to lessen their overall budgets, are making a mistake when they take that route. "By allowing us to manage the [healthcare facility's laundry] program," Juffre says, "it's saving them money in the long run; but more importantly it ends up saving them time." When healthcare facilities partner with ImageFIRST, the time once spent managing laundry services and linen can be refocused into patient care.

ImageFIRST Cedar Rapids, along with its various national counterparts, is one of the largest and quickest-expanding healthcare laundry service providers in the United States. Juffre notes that ImageFIRST's specialization in the laundry services industry "allows [them] to be excellent in what [they] do." He continues, "…[R]ather than be a jack of all trades, we prefer to focus on healthcare." He affirmed ImageFIRST's value by looking to its customers' perceptions of the service, noting that "I think our clients—the people who choose to do business with us—really appreciate our approach to what we do."
