Biloxi VA facility opens textile processing facility

The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System recently unveiled a new textile processing facility in Biloxi, Miss., according to an article on the American Laundry News website.

The new facility marks the first time since Hurricane Katrina that the medical center is processing its own textiles.

The facility had to send employees and laundry to Tuscaloosa and then to Houston so that laundry could be processed.
