HLSG Connects with Healthcare Environmental Services Leaders at AHE Exchange 2026

Healthcare Linen Services Group (HLSG) proud to exhibit at the AHE Exchange26 Education & Solution Summit, held August 16-19, 2026, in New Orleans.

Hosted by the Association for the Health Care Environment (AHE), Exchange26 brought together healthcare environmental services professionals to share ideas, build connections, and explore solutions to the challenges facing healthcare environments today.

For HLSG, the event provided an important opportunity to connect directly with EVS leaders and discuss how dependable healthcare linen and laundry services can support cleaner, more efficient healthcare environments.

Connecting with Healthcare EVS Professionals

Throughout the conference, the HLSG team met with healthcare environmental services leaders and other industry professionals from across the country.

Representing HLSG at the booth were:

• Kelvin Winstead, Director of Account Management
• Nick Swartz, Vice President of Sales
• Alec Engler, Director of Sales
• Riley Rosenhagen, Director of Sales

The team introduced attendees to HLSG's healthcare linen and laundry solutions while discussing the operational priorities and service challenges healthcare organizations face every day.

These conversations gave our team the opportunity not only to showcase what HLSG provides, but also to hear directly from healthcare professionals about the needs of their facilities and teams.

Supporting Environmental Services with Reliable Linen Solutions

Environmental services teams play an essential role in maintaining healthcare environments that support safety, cleanliness, and efficient operations. AHE itself is focused on professionals responsible for maintaining healthcare environments that are clean, safe, and operationally effective.

Reliable linen service is an important part of that broader effort.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities need consistent access to clean linen and textile products for patient care and daily operations. Delayed deliveries, inconsistent inventory, or poor linen quality can create unnecessary challenges for teams already managing demanding healthcare environments.

HLSG works with healthcare organizations to provide dependable linen processing, delivery, inventory support, and responsive account management designed around each facility's needs.

Learning from the Healthcare Professionals We Serve

Trade shows such as AHE Exchange are also valuable because they give our team the opportunity to listen.

Conversations with EVS professionals provide insight into the operational pressure's healthcare facilities are experiencing, from efficiency and staffing concerns to service reliability and cost management.

Understanding those priorities helps HLSG continue refining the way we serve healthcare organizations and build stronger, more collaborative partnerships with our customers.

Building Relationships Across the Healthcare Industry

We would like to thank Kelvin Winstead, Nick Swartz, Alec Engler, and Riley Rosenhagen for representing Healthcare Linen Services Group at AHE Exchange26.

Their professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm helped showcase the expertise and commitment that define the HLSG team.

We also appreciate everyone who stopped by the HLSG booth to meet our team. We look forward to continuing the conversations started in New Orleans and helping healthcare organizations develop dependable linen programs that support their teams and patients.
