From the founder:
Why Medelita
I started Medelita with one goal in mind: to design a uniform that would empower my colleagues and I to feel our best, and by extension, to improve the quality of care for our patients. Since graduating from PA school in 1999, I’ve established broad-reaching relationships from working for a decade in emergency medicine and then transitioning into head of innovation for Medelita. With two decades of tireless work to improve the lives of patients and providing this service for my esteemed colleagues in medicine, I invite you to discover a brand that I feel is truly unique in design, fabric, fit, and performance.

Our History
In 2008, Lara Francisco, a licensed physician assistant, decided that the existing selection of ill-fitting, poorly designed lab coats and scrubs were no longer acceptable for healthcare providers. She founded Medelita and launched a collection of tailored medical apparel that quickly caught on with hospital professionals seeking a much-needed alternative to baggy and disposable unisex garments. She introduced a new line of fitted and flattering looks incorporated dual effect bacteriostatic technology to keep wearers dry, comfortable, and stain free during every shift.
