Last month, Texas Ambulatory Surgery Center Society (TASCS) had the pleasure of touring Nixon Medical’s location in Cleburne, Texas. 

Upon arrival, TASCS members learned the history of Nixon Medical—how it evolved from a family dry cleaning business in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s, how it is still a family run business today, and how it has become the leading provider of medical apparel and linens for outpatient healthcare centers.

The TASCS team was able to follow the path of apparel and linens from start to finish: the soiled items arriving at the plant then being sorted, cleaned, dried, packaged, and loaded up, ready to go out to ambulatory surgery centers in Texas. 

Nixon Medical is certified by the Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council, one of the many steps taken to ensure quality and prove commitment to customers. “We have strict infection control protocols, just like ASCs,” said General Manager Austin Gardner. 

“We’re also a green plant,” shared Plant Manager Calvin Smith. “We recycle water when we can to help the environment and our customers.”

The tour ended with an insightful presentation from Gardner; he emphasized the importance and priority that the company puts on customer satisfaction.

“All TASCS members are welcome to come take a tour at any time,” finished Corporate Sales Director Paul Capuano. “We love showing our customers what we do for them!”
