Bay Linen serves BayCare, a leading not-for-profit healthcare system of 14 hospitals in the Tampa Bay and central Florida regions.
 
 
   
Jewison, who has more than 30 years of experience in engineering and operations management of large healthcare laundries, is a past board member of the Association for Linen Management and the Mayo Clinic. He holds three U.S. patentsrelated to textiles, water disinfection and material handling.
 
 
Romeo is past president of IAHTM's board of directors.  He is returning to the Board of HLAC, where he served from 2010 to 2015, including as its president from 2012 to 2013. He has been CEO of HLS Linen Services since 2001.
 
 
"Mark Hoenemeyer, Paul Jewison and Rocco Romeo are among the best and brightest in our industry," said Bradley J. Bushman, HLAC board president.
