Why start this company hospitalgowns.com?

Started in 1998, the ORIGINAL and ONLY DESIGNER HOSPITAL GOWNS. Because I could find no one else making what a hospital gown really should be. All I found was boring & ugly pastel blues, pinks, yellows and repeating dots, diamonds or repeating snowflake patterns.

Now, doctors had hot colors and patterns but no one really gave a crap about the patients, the sick people - "just grab one of those dull and uninspiring hospital gowns off that cart" and that’s what your loved one or friend gets.

Not so anymore! At first it was just a thought, then a dream, then the dream quickly turned into a nightmare, a deep abyss, then back into an ideal dream – to help people and what's so funny about that, now it's a reality – OPEN for business 24 X 7.

2) What’s the real story behind Designer Hospital Gowns?

It starts like any other day or night.

The phone rings and it’s the call you never want to get - someone, a loved one, a family member is down, hurt and in the hospital clinging to life. So you pack and rush hopping the red eye east trying to catch a moment of sleep while phoning ahead for patient updates. You arrive and scramble to the hospital.

Entering the hospital before dawn all is quiet. You wander your way, finding the Intensive Care Unit. Checking over the ICU waiting area people are spread out in-groups around the room. Some sleeping on floor, strewn over tables, children playing hiding and seek under chairs, some reading, others praying - this is the calm harbor in a storm where all of us are in the same boat. You dump your luggage down in a chair, wondering for a split second if it’s safe then moving quickly on to the ICU front desk. You repeat the name over and over in your mind as they slowly check the charts.

Approaching the ICU suites the medical noises become deafening. You quickly scan around the sub-rooms checking over each bed and face carefully. The nurse guides you around the drawn curtain. There is your loved one looking disheveled but alive and wearing a pastel blue tablecloth they call a GOWN. You struggle with the fears, tears, joys and hopes all in an instant. The days and nights come and go but soon enough they move you out and onto the next floor.

Sitting there day after day, test after test, bland meal after meal, I started to notice that the hospital gowns are ugly and not inspiring.

In the hallways often I passed children playing wearing the same cheap dull gowns. While watching the patients walk around and around circling the medical station it reminded me of that scene in Midnight Express where all the prisoners are walking around in circles: "the bad machine doesn’t know it’s a bad machine." I thought people, human beings, deserve better than this and should demand better hospital gowns.

Why not? Why shouldn’t your friends, lovers, or loved ones deserve the best possible INSPIRING hospital gowns.

What can I do? What can you do?

So Designer Hospital Gowns and Surgical Caps were INSPIRED!

Almost everyday I come across another roadblock, more regulations and deadlines but the road to success is paved with potholes. I just work harder and longer. For if you could only see the patients faces young and old when given a Designer Hospital Gown you’d know it’s the right thing to do by any means necessary.

We will make this a better place! designer hospital gowns
