YPSILANTI, Mich. – Question: What do a major college athletics program and a large hospital complex have in common?
One answer you might not have thought of is that they both do a lot of laundry, a fact that's enabling Eastern Michigan University to extend a helping hand to nearby St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor Hospital during the COVID-19 crisis.
The hospital is, of course, using far more medical related clothing than normal in handling the epidemic, so much so that it is making daily use of the three 60-gallon washing machines and four dryers in the Student Athlete Performance Center (SAPC), located next to Rynearson Football Stadium.
