Standard Staff Apparel | Howard County General Hospital, Johns Hopkins Medicine

Our Standard Apparel program features color-coded scrub uniforms so that patients and families can easily distinguish the role of the person with whom they are interacting. This philosophy is common in other service roles, such as the police or military. In times of need, the public can easily identify the person to give them assistance – and that ability provides comfort and control for our patients and their families. Following is a guide to the color codes.
