Bringing Dignity to Patients with Shawn Gibbs
Episode 99
Tuesday, 30 June, 2026
Shawn Gibbs, co-founder and CEO of GIV Gowns, joins hosts Dr. Anthony Orsini and Liz Poret-Christ to discuss how dignity and trust can transform the healthcare experience. Shawn shares how two years of service work in Haiti shaped his understanding of dignity and led him into medicine and entrepreneurship. After repeatedly seeing patients delay important care because they felt exposed, uncomfortable, or unheard, he began designing modern patient gowns that protect privacy while still giving clinicians the access they need. Shawn also shares powerful stories of the gowns’ emotional impact, including a 12-year-old leukemia patient whose custom lacrosse “hero gown” helped him feel like an athlete instead of a sick child. The conversation explores how clothing can restore confidence for children, older adults, psychiatric patients, and anyone facing a frightening medical procedure. Shawn also discusses GIV Gowns’ new direct-to-consumer option, his mother’s experience using the gowns during breast cancer treatment and why allowing patients to choose what they wear can help them feel more prepared, respected, and engaged in their care.
