Interior Health privatizing laundry services; cutting dozens of jobs
KAMLOOPS — Interior Health has made a final decision to privatize its laundry services.
The health authority announced this afternoon it has reached a 20-year agreement with Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service, meaning all of the laundry at five major sites in IH will be processed through a central site in Kelowna.
IH says the move will affect 93 full-time equivalent positions.
