FIGS

It’s clear — healthcare professionals need to be protected. Nobody knows the issues they are facing better than the real people in healthcare. 🩺 In April, FIGS brought 16 healthcare workers to Washington D.C. to meet with congressional and senate offices on both sides of the aisle and tell their stories first hand, raise awareness, and bring the voices of healthcare to life. At the end of May, we officially submitted our request to both the House and Senate to secure funding for funding for four critical areas: - $45 million for the Lorna Breen Act - $1.51 billion for healthcare workforce development - Funding for a tracking program to enhance healthcare providers' wellbeing - Support for work-based learning programs through the Departments of Education and Labor for the next generation of healthcare professionals This is a significant step towards supporting those who dedicate their lives to caring for others. But our advocacy doesn’t end there.

In January, we celebrated a huge milestone: the opening of the FIGS Operating Theater and ICU in partnership with Tiba Foundation and the Matibabu Foundation. Thank you to our founders Heather Hasson and Trina Spear who have worked tirelessly to make this multi-year project a reality, and to Meg Whitman (US Ambassador to Kenya) — without your support, this would not have been possible!

We'll never stop fighting for all healthcare professionals to have access to the mental health support they need. That's why FIGS proudly supports legislation introduced yesterday by U.S. Senators Tim Kaine and Todd Young and U.S. Representatives Jen Kiggans, Susan (Ellis) Wild, Buddy Carter, and Debbie Dingell to renew federal funding to create a safer and more supportive working environment for healthcare professionals. Alongside our longtime partners, the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation, FIGS has worked towards this introduction on behalf of every healthcare professional suffering from burnout, moral injury, or unsafe work environments. Our work is just beginning as we turn to passing this bill and all the solutions contained in our Awesome Humans Bill platform. There is nothing more important than this effort, and we will not accept failure. Join us and learn more at the FIGS Advocacy Hub. https://lnkd.in/gcyxbne9

Close your eyes, imagine a spot where you can not only try on FIGS in person, but where FIGS can get to know you better — what matters to you, what you need and what you’re working towards. Somewhere we can host events and hold space for you to meet each other and create that connection that makes working in healthcare so special. We’re super excited to share that our first-ever Community Hub is open! This is YOUR space. We’re just there to listen, fetch you scrubs and snacks, cheer you on, cheer you up and have your back. Come by Westfield Century City and say hi. We can’t wait to see you. 📍10250 Santa Monica Blvd Suite 1270, Los Angeles, CA 90067

A short FIGS history: 🎯 In 2013, launched on the Shopify Standard Plan 🎯 2014-2020, added Shopify payments, SHOP, Shopify shipping, grew to Shopify Plus, and expanded internationally. 🎯 In 2021, IPO’d 🎯 In 2022, generated more than $500M in net revenues almost entirely online Last week, they opened their first retail store. I’m thrilled their POS and online store is powered by Shopify. FIGS saw that healthcare workers were wearing scratchy, boxy, awful scrubs on grueling shifts. They took a product that was given no attention, scrubs, that some of the most important individuals on the planet wear daily, and reinvented it into technically advanced, high-performing, stylish products that healthcare workers love…and they built a thriving community. FIGS has redefined what scrubs should look and feel like. It’s why you see them on every healthcare professional. It has been an absolute joy to see FIGS grow, scale, evolve, and thrive over the last 10 years and this new store in LA is the perfect example of this. Congrats to Heather Hasson, Trina Spear, and the entire FIGS team 💚 If you’re in LA - go check out the space. 

Scenes from FIGS Field Day. ☀️ Last month we got together at Calamigos Ranch for a full day of fun and innovation. The day kicked off with an opportunity for our team members to reset and reflect, followed by a fireside chat with businessman and entrepreneur, Thomas Tull, and our CEO, Trina Spear. Later our team joined in on an afternoon full of engaging, creative challenges and spent time reflecting on all the ways we can continue to be our best as we connect deeply with each other and with the Awesome Humans we serve.
