Professionalism Without Saying A Word
Healthcare professionals embrace the commitment to
care and serve every day. Unfortunately, their attire
does not always reflect this same devotion and
passion. Current research shows that the variety
of different colors, patterns, and styles of apparel
found in the average medical facility can be
confusing and overwhelming to patients.
The value of a color-coordinated,
standardized uniform program is

employee morale, increased

uniforms help patients and visitors distinguish between hospital departments
and staff roles.

How Easy is it?
VERY! Our custom-designed online stores make ordering easy!
UDE will personalize a state-of-the-art web store for your facility that directs
users to the appropriate uniform choices and logo embroidery for their
department. Whether you’re placing a group order or a staff member is
placing an individual one for themselves, we offer secure log-ins and a smooth
shopping experience. We know there is no one-size-fits-all payment option,
and that is why we offer multiple payment programs including corporate
purchase orders, credit card, and payroll deductions.
And it isn’t just easy, it’s
fast! We can stock a full
supply of your organization’s
uniforms so that future
orders can be quickly and
easily fulfilled and delivered
when and where they are
needed! UDE makes sure
new uniforms are never
more than a click away.
Of course, if your facility already has a uniform program in place, Ukrop’s
Dress Express will supply uniforms for your staff with the same great level of
customer service and speedy delivery.
