Sassy Scrubs Aids Landstuhl Hospital Care Project

Recently, Sassy Scrubs was asked to participate in a vitally important project to support America’s men and women in the Armed Forces. Since medics on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan have limited access to supplies, like new medical uniforms, as well as laundry facilities to care for the uniforms they do have, the need for scrubs for themselves and often for their patients, is real and immediate.

Sassy Scrubs was asked to help alleviate this need by donating scrubs to the medic units on the front lines. We were honored to be asked and are committed to contribute what we can to assist our medical units treating America’s own.

Read about our contribution below, excerpted from a recent newsletter from Landstuhl Hospital Care Project, and visit them online at www.landstuhlhospitalcareproject.org to learn more about the project.

LHCP is pleased to welcome a new corporate sponsor—Sassy Scrubs, an internet retailer and manufacturer offering custom-made scrubs uniforms. Owned and operated by Karen Bradley, Sassy Scrubs custom makes each piece. Because of this, each customer has complete control of the number and placement of pockets, pants length, and fabric choice from over 1,400 fabrics available. In the 1990s, the company was the first to produce print scrubs. Sassy Scrubs has eleven full and part-time employees and is located in rural Upstate New York, in the Finger Lakes Region.

Sassy Scrubs learned about LHCP when they were contacted by Karen Grimord about making a donation of scrubs for military medical personnel deployed to combat support hospitals. She couldn’t have contacted a more philanthropic-minded business. Sassy Scrubs’ founder, Karen Bradley explains, “I feel it is the responsibility of every person, and every business, to help out where we can. I’m happy to be able to do so both personally and with my business.” In addition to providing a shipment of scrubs tops and pants in a variety of sizes to LHCP, Sassy Scrubs sponsors its own Baby Blankets for China project in which its fabric scraps are used by employees during off-peak times to make blankets for children in orphanages in China.

Now that Karen Bradley has learned about LHCP, she has also become involved with our Stitches of Love projects. She is making med bags. As she enthusiastically states, “Once you understand the need(s), it’s hard not to get involved!”

When asked if she had a message for our military medical personnel who wear scrubs, Karen Bradley thoughtfully shares, “Well, my personal motto is to ‘Think positively and move in a forward direction,’ so I’d expand that to our military medical people into ‘Keep your spirits up, think positively, and do the best job you can do.’ That, along with wishing them a safe journey through this aspect of their lives; and also sharing my respect for the commitment they have for their work and country.”

Thank you, Karen and Sassy Scrubs, for supporting America’s combat support hospitals through LHCP.
