HD/Chemo Processing

A Smarter, Safer Solution for HD Linen

Crown Health Care Laundry Services is one of the only linen providers that safely processes linens exposed to hazardous drug and chemotherapy treatments, following OSHA’s stringent handling and rewashing protocols.

Hazardous drugs, like chemotherapy treatments, are essential to modern medicine, but they leave behind more than just results. According to NIOSH, patients treated with hazardous drugs may excrete active drug residue in urine, feces, vomit, and sweat for at least 48 hours and in some cases up to seven days, depending on the specific medication.

That risk doesn’t stop at the bedside caregiver. It extends to environmental services, laundry workers, and even visitors. Improper handling or washing can result in widespread contamination and violate OSHA standards.

Crown’s HD Linen Program gives you a compliant and professional solution, so you don’t have to choose between patient safety and operational efficiency.
