Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) today announced Marquette
General Hospital (MGH) in Marquette, Mich. is the winner of its
2011 Wear the Care Contest. Selected from more than 170 entries,
the 85 individuals in the housekeeping and laundry departments at
MGH will receive a complimentary Image Apparel Makeover from Cintas
worth $10,000. In addition, a $1,000 donation will be made on their
behalf to the Marquette General Foundation.
An independent judging panel selected the housekeeping and
laundry department at MGHS for best demonstrating its need for an
apparel program and detailing how the program would improve the
satisfaction of hospital patients and visitors. The Wear the Care
Contest, in its third year, recognizes the positive impact of a
professional image on patient satisfaction.
“The housekeeping and laundry departments are very visible
healthcare staff members,” said Ellen Greer, Director of
Housekeeping at MGHS. “Our outdated uniforms don’t reflect the
tremendous effort we put into our job of keeping the hospital
clean. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s a very important job and
our uniforms should reflect that. Winning this contest has boosted
morale and renews the pride of our staff.”
In addition to the apparel makeover and foundation donation, the
team at MGH will receive an image consultation from Roberta Hughes,
president of Avidere, LLC. The seminar is designed to inspire and
educate staff on the importance of establishing and maintaining a
professional image.
Located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, MGHS is a 315-bed
specialty care hospital, providing care in 65 specialties and
subspecialties since 1973. Its medical staff and employees care for
approximately 12,000 inpatients and more than 350,000 outpatients a
year.
“Employees who look good will feel better about themselves. This
translates into a better patient experience,” said Brent Schafer,
Vice President of Healthcare, Cintas. “The housekeeping and laundry
department staff at MGHS works hard at their jobs and are very
deserving of this honor.”
