What makes your organization unique?

Barbara Whitlock, owner: We sell designer medical scrubs like Koi, the newest, best-fitting scrubs on the market. New for spring, Koi has launched the orange line priced at $20 or less with the same great fit and high quality that they are known for. We will continue to offer Cherokee, which has been a mainstay in the medical scrub arena for many years.

What charitable organizations do you support?

BW: We have supported the Southeast Missouri Hospital and Saint Francis Medical Center's auxiliaries for more than 30 years. We also support several breast cancer awareness organizations, the Cape Girardeau County Medical Society and the Cape Girardeau County Dental Association. We strongly believe in backing those organizations that support the health care community.

What may our readers find surprising about your business?
