Our Story

How We Got Here...

Over 40 years ago, the Professional Apparel Company was formed. At this time, my husband had recently graduated with his Veterinary Medicine degree from Michigan State University and decided he wanted to open his own practice here in Battle Creek, Michigan. There were not enough matching scrubs for his staff and no uniform stores in our area, so we began to research manufacturers, order scrubs in bulk for his clinic needs, and sell the excess to other local veterinarians, initially thinking nothing of it. After assembling and customizing his scrubs in our basement, word of mouth began to spread for the admiration and demand of his uniforms. Soon orders began pouring in for scrubs, lab coats, embroidery, and requests for additional items. Soon, local physician offices and hospitals were calling us to place orders. We became the local "uniform experts" and our client list began to grow rapidly. We wanted a brand and identity that healthcare professionals could relate to and easily recall, The Right Scrubs fit the bill, and the rest is history!

Embroidery and engraving services were eventually added along with additional scrub lines, medical accessories, performance wear, and much more. We are continuously searching and narrowing down unique apparel that work in the healthcare profession as fabrics that shed hair, wash well, and are extremely durable. We are extremely grateful to be a part of the healthcare and veterinary communities for so many years. The Right Scrubs strives to provide you and your team with excellent products, service, and care to ensure you have everything you need to succeed.
