Kansas Healthcare Environmental and Linen Services Association

Mission: To provide exceptional educational and networking opportunities for managers of health care environmental and linen services.

The Kansas Healthcare Environmental and Linen Services Association provides networking, support and education for persons involved in the many facets of housekeeping and laundry for health care institutions. By sponsoring at least two statewide educational programs annually, members keep up-to-date on management issues as well as housekeeping and laundry issues.

SAVE THE DATE:  We are tentatively scheduling the KHELSA Fall Education for October 7-8, 2021.  Assuming the path is clear to have an in-person meeting, we will have a great line up of speakers and, of course, our vendor show.
