Garment assembly in Nicaragua A second team of employees traveled to Masaya, Nicaragua, in April to tour the Calypso Apparel factory where the garments are sewn and finished. This factory was selected by Vestex because they had the capability to produce the large number of garments required. Our team verified that the factory in Nicaragua is safe, the employees are all legal working age and well trained. It meets every standard that our American factories must comply with, and the workers there showed their pride with a slogan they adopted specifically for our order, “Perfection simply is not good enough!!” While in Nicaragua, the team also visited a hospital in Masaya.
Delivery in Northeast Florida Delivery of the new staff uniforms will begin the week of July 9, and will last for several weeks to ensure everyone has a chance to pick up their order. A schedule will be published in June so that each campus is aware of the specific dates, times and locations for delivery. Stay tuned to CareConnection for updates on the delivery times as we approach this historic rollout!
“As we were there visiting the plant and meeting the people, I realized that this was no ordinary order for them. Their dedication could be seen throughout the factory in the form of constant professionalism and meticulous inspection of every piece as it made its way through the process.” Greg Garcia, CHESP Operations Manager, Environmental Services Baptist Jacksonville
