We’ve Been on ALL Sides of the Exam Table
Our Story
For 100 years, the first thing handed to a person walking into a medical appointment has been an afterthought.
Paper, or stiff cotton. Open in the back. One size fits most. Ties you can't reach. Coverage that disappears the moment you move.
Nobody designed it for the person wearing it. It was designed for efficiency, but not for the patient. And it stayed that way because nobody decided to change it.
Shawn, spent 15 years as a provider watching what happened in that moment. Before the exam or the conversation. Before anything clinical occurred. He watched people walk in as individuals and become patients the second they put on a standard gown. The posture that changed. The eyes that dropped. The quiet dignity that left the room.
He watched people delay care, sometimes for years, because the vulnerability of that moment felt like too much.
That observation became a conviction to change the status quo.
That conviction became GIV Gowns.
Built by Someone Who's Been on All Sides
The Provider Who Decided the Gown Had to Change
Shawn Gibbs is a medical provider, a serial entrepreneur, and the co-founder of GIV Gowns. He's been in the exam room for over 15 years, as a clinician, a clinic founder, and as a patient himself.
He knows what it feels like to be handed that gown. And he knows what it costs a person to sit in that room, exposed and cold, and still try to trust the care they're about to receive.
He built GIV because that cost was always unnecessary. Nobody had designed the gown for the person inside it. So he did.
GIV Gowns is the result: premium, reusable, dignity-first medical attire designed for real bodies, real care, and the real emotional experience of showing up to an appointment.
Provider-designed. Patient-owned. Yours to bring.
