The ALM Vendor Showcase is where you will learn about the latest product, service, and financing offerings from ALM Allied Trade/Vendor members.

Did you know that while ALM has different membership types, there are also different account types? If you have a group account (facility, corporate, or national/regional associates), there is a Company Account with a username and password for membership dues billing and renewal, as well as Personal Accounts (with a username and password) for all individuals who are part of the membership.

All ALM members, regardless of membership type, have a Personal Account, and that's likely what you use regularly. It's through the Personal Account that you track your contact hours, register for an ALM program, and update your email address. Your Personal Account is yours and stays with you if you change employers. But don't be confused when it comes to renewal time if you have a group account. You will need to log into your Company Account to find the renewal invoice and update who has allowed access on your membership.

Need assistance? Contact any member of ALM's staff and we'll be happy to help!

In a recent article from Laundry and Cleaning News International, the 2018 IMPACT Conference was lauded, with a focus on the stellar information concerning accreditation and the difficulties in navigating the conflicting accreditation regulations. ALM is grateful for the participation from the Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council during the 2018 IMPACT Conference!

The American Reusable Textile Association (ARTA) announced its life cycle research on cleanroom coveralls will be published in the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology! An abstract of the study is available at www.ARTA1.com, search "coverall."

Standard Textile and Precision Fabrics Group announced results from a clinical trial evaluating DermaTherapy® technology, published in the November 2017 issue of the American Journal of Critical Care. Authors of the study from Michigan Medicine, the academic medical center of the University of Michigan, concluded: “The use of specialty linens in addition to standard techniques for preventing pressure injuries can help prevent pressure injuries from developing in high-risk patients in intensive care units.”
