SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Mission Linen Supply reports that it has been awarded a contract from the Arizona Department of Veterans Services to service the new Arizona State Veteran Home (ASVH) in Tucson, Ariz.

The linen and uniform supply company already provides linens and garments to the State Veteran Home in Phoenix. Under the contract, the Tucson facility will rely on Mission Linen to service healthcare and dietary linens and dust control products, as well as garments and uniforms for housekeeping, kitchen and maintenance staff. Mission Linen’s Tucson plant will provide the linen and uniform service.

Arizona’s newest Veterans Home will be a state-owned and -operated 120-bed Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility, located adjacent to the Southern Arizona VA Hospital in Tucson.

“The changing demands of the Tucson facility require flexibility and great service on the part of our supplier,” says Homer Rogers, assistant deputy director, ASVH. “Mission Linen had already demonstrated that they are capable of managing our needs in Phoenix, so we knew they would be able to offer the same quality and service to us in Tucson.”
