This attractive outfit can help you send some cheer to people with cancer.

(NAPSI) - Scrubs are useful for more than just scrubbing up in. A recent issue of Oprah magazine featured one luxury scrubs designer both for its quality work wear and because sales of those clothes were helping cancer patients feel better.

The Problem

A big fear among cancer patients is losing all of their hair. Now, thanks to the company, Blue Sky Scrubs, patients can get free, attractive hospital scrubs hats that offer a way to cover hair loss with a bright and sophisticated look.

A Solution

The hats are sent to cancer patients whenever someone buys the attractive clothing and accessories created by a company that specializes in medical wear, a style now increasingly popular for casual wear all over the country.

In fact, though it’s branched out since, the firm was founded to make surgical headgear—so it knows how to turn out top-quality, good-looking toppers. Consumers who buy scrubs can have the free hat sent to themselves to give to a cancer patient of their own choosing.

The hats are fun and can make people feel good. As one recipient, Margaret Moore, put it, “After undergoing chemotherapy at MD Anderson in Houston, I finally got to wear a Blue Sky Scrubs hat. I feel so much better now. This is a big ego booster.”

Cancer Facts

No one knows the exact cause of most cases of cancer, the American Cancer Society explains. Scientists are studying and learning more about the many steps it takes for cancers to form and grow.

Although some of the factors in these steps may be a lot alike, the process that happens in the cells is generally different for each type of cancer.
