At FIGS we believe that every medical professional should have access to quality scrubs. Through our Threads for Threads initiative, we donate medical apparel to healthcare professionals in need around the world. We also partner with amazing organizations and Awesome Humans who help us deliver the scrubs — as well as donate their time, expertise and care.
In October 2019, the FIGS team and seven Awesome Humans traveled to Manipur, India to donate 500 sets of scrubs and administer free medical care. Despite having very little equipment and even fewer medications at our disposal, we were able to treat over 4,000 patients in three days.
In August 2018, the FIGS team and five Awesome Humans teamed up with the amazing non-profit Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children (FIMRC). Together, we visited Huancayo, Peru where we donated 1,500 scrubs and cared for over 300 patients in clinics, hospitals, schools and an orphanage.
The job is too big for us to tackle alone (for now!), so we partner with like-minded organizations and individuals who do extraordinary work.
Sharing the scrubs with the in-country doctors helped us build a connection.

The scrubs kept us working at our best, and very comfortable in the hot, humid Dominican Republic climate. Additionally, the scrubs unified us as a team and allowed us to focus on our mission.
