The healthcare apparel brand takes over Chicago’s Illinois Medical District and Old Town with a tongue-in-cheek “Anti-Pizza-Party Pizza Party” May 6-12.
FIGS, the healthcare apparel brand known for reimagining what it means to celebrate the medical community, is taking over Chicago this Nurses Week (May 6-12) with a series of free, nurse-only activations under the banner of its “Anti-Pizza-Party Pizza Party,” a tongue-in-cheek nod to the all-too-familiar admin pizza drop that’s long been the standard way to thank hospital staff.
While policies shift, budgets are cut, and the nursing profession faces mounting pressures with 1 in 6 nurses leaving bedside this year and 264,000+ nursing roles unfilled nationwide FIGS is channeling Chicago’s iconic pizza culture to give nurses something that actually feels like a celebration.
