LISTEN: The Cure For The Dehumanizing Hospital Gown

June 7, 2018

Behind the Seams

“I had always hated hospital gowns…I had worn my fair share of them at doctor’s appointments and such and always groaned as I was instructed to ‘strip and put this on.’ They offered no comfort, no warmth, no dignity.”

~Peg Feodoroff, Cancer Survivor, Co-Founder of Spirited Sisters, Inc. & The Original Healing Threads

They believe a hospital gown makes those fighting life-threatening illnesses feel undervalued and dehumanized. So, they decided to do something about it. Empty Hanger correspondent, Kadiyah Lodge, shares a special story about three spirited sisters and their healing threads which just might be “the cure for the common hospital gown.”
