Putting others before yourself is part of the job when you work in healthcare. Putting your working conditions, mental health, physical well-being and other standards of living on the back burner? Not acceptable.
At FIGS, we believe healthcare workers are the most Awesome Humans in the world. We also believe they deserve the world — and we won’t stop until we see meaningful policy change to ensure the health, prosperity and wellness of our community.
Welcome to the FIGS Advocacy Hub — your source for the most important developments in health policy. Here, you can stay informed, take action and best of all? Tell us how we should show up for you in the world!
You’ve got our backs and we’ve got yours.
“OUR MISSION AT FIGS IS ALL ABOUT IMPROVING THE EXPERIENCE OF
BEING A HEALTHCARE WORKER. ADVOCATING FOR THEIR HEALTH, SAFETY AND HAPPINESS AT
WORK IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THAT MISSION.”
— TRINA SPEAR, CO-FOUNDER AND CEO
