Scrub Access

• Scrub Access Form, the form is completed and submitted online or come to the linen room SGA 37, ground floor with your badge.
• Current policy on Hospital Owned Scrubs

Please remind your residents, NEVER THROW AWAY SCRUBS!!! They are NEVER too soiled to be cleaned. If they get them out of the scrub access machine damaged, torn, soiled, stained, etc. please inform them to tie them in a knot and put them back in the machine. This gives them their credit for another set of scrubs and lets laundry know there is an issue with that particular set of scrubs.
