Vestagen to provide Vestex protected uniforms to Baptist

"Healthcare workers are exposed to some of the most dangerous work environments and need better protection from the body fluids and harmful contaminants they encounter every day," added Favret. "The progressive action Baptist Health is taking to prioritize staff and patient safety in this way sets a strong precedent for other healthcare facilities to follow."

Baptist Health's efforts also support Vestagen's goal to inform healthcare workers about the important role their uniforms can play in pathogen transmission. To draw further attention to this issue, Vestagen recently launched a "Keep the Coat" campaign to raise awareness about the transmission potential of non-protective uniforms and the risk of contaminating provider's street clothes if the protective qualities of the storied white coat are removed during patient interaction.
