Medical Mission: Ecuador

Blanca’s House is an organization of volunteers that brings free medical services and healthcare education to communities in Latin America. Last week 55 volunteers traveled to Guayaquil, Ecuador for our 28th mission trip. We performed 63 surgeries and also saw several hundred patients for medical exams.

I shared your KimKaps with my daughter, who accompanied me, as well as fellow volunteers and a few of the OR staff at our host hospital.

Everyone loved them!

Don't we look cute in our KimKaps????

Thank you again for your generous donation to our mission trip,

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!
