Medical Mission: Dominican Republic

Here at KimKaps we love to give back and help out those doing good throughout the world. Longtime KimKaps customer, Evan Epper recently wrote us about a visit to the Dominican Republic:

Dear Kim,

Once again you outdid yourself and made a generous donation towards my medical mission. I had a successful and heartwarming mission in Dominican Republic last April 2012 with a non-profit organization called LIGGlobal Foundation with Dr.Sarah Timmapuri and Dr. Ernani Sedaral heading our team of Surgeons, nurses, and other wonderful volunteers-who helped make a tremendous impact to the lives of the people in Dominican Republic at Dajabon which is close to the boundary of Haiti. It had been such a wonderful experience having known your company because it made everyone look so beautiful while they work. Even where I work - HackensackUMC hospital in New Jersey, my patients loved them and make them smile when they see me wearing your surgical hats and put a smile on their faces even though they are scared of whatever procedure they are about to have. At least for a moment -your hats made them feel good especially with all the awesome designs that you have now. I get in contact with a lot of cancer patients at work here whom every now and then I give away whatever I am wearing of your hats because they love them and I always tell them where they came from.

Kim, again and again I want to commend you for what you do for me and the people we try to serve.Thank you so much for the help you always extend even through the beautiful hats you make!!!

In November 1--18 this year , we are going back to Dominican Republic for another medical-surgical mission with LIGglobal foundation and if you can donate some of your hats towards that trip it would be fabulous. Thanks Kim!!!

Sincerely,

Evan Epper , RN

About Us

KimKaps was started by a surgical nurse longing for an alternative to the disposable blue “mops” she and the rest of the surgical team wore on their heads during their long hours in the OR. She knew these mops contain fiberglass, which damages and breaks hair, and that their disposable nature discourages environmentally-friendly practices. But most of all, she knew these mops are UGLY! She designed and began making 100% cotton scrub hats for herself out of the cutest and most durable fabrics she could find, and soon began outfitting the surgical teams in her hospital with her creations when her colleagues begged her to make them cuter in the OR, too! Since launching KimKaps, Kim and her creative team have brought a world of cute to the world of scrubs with distinct styles of scrub hats in dozens of fabulous fabric choices.
You’re going to look so cute!
