(HealthNewsDigest.com) – New York, NY, 2014 – It has been said that “laughter is the best medicine” and entrepreneur Jody Barrett has taken that concept and turned it into quirky hospital wear that is sure to bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones this Holiday Season. Seriously Funny Gowns offers patients a little humor and brightness to a sometimes sad situation through its decorated range of hospital gowns.
The idea behind Seriously Funny Gowns was developed when Jody visited a close friend in the hospital and they joked about her hospital gown being so depressing. It was there that Jody identified a unique void in the hospital market, and immediately got to work to help change the way people viewed hospitals. Jody has over 10 years of experience with luxury brands as an Executive Director and has volunteered at numerous New York hospitals and senior facilities including North Shore University Hospital.
Focusing on cheery and humorous designs, Jody has created a line that includes traditional hospital gowns, breast cancer treatment tops and mammography tops. Starting at just $35, the customized gowns are available in two cotton thread counts, which account for patients varying body temperatures when they are sick or in treatment.
