Uniforms Selection Consulting
Many leading hospitals are implementing Apparel/Uniform Programs to enhance
the appearance of their employees which as a result support their
organization’s image and vision. These programs also respond to the need of
patients to easily identify their caregivers.
The Uniform/Apparel Programs can include the non-clinical as well as the
clinical staff; nurses, other healthcare professionals, volunteers and,
support staff. Some organizations have developed "custom line" of apparel to
enhance their organization’s brand and to offer their employees access to
subsidized garments as an employee benefit.

Lafayette Villa Health Care
"Image Resource Group developed a patient-oriented plan
that allows our patients to differentiate
the caregivers by the garments colors they wear. The project included surveys
and training sessions with our staff to gain input on their
preferences on styles, colors, details, fabrics and costs to develop a custom
apparel line.
Each garment has the Northwestern Memorial logo on the sleeve and the employee
job title embroidered on the front for ease of patient identification.
This project represents the
first comprehensive hospital custom uniform apparel program in the country."
