Garde-Malade was born from a personal experience shared by its three founders: Frank, Marie, and Steve.

Marie and Steve, a couple for nearly 20 years, went through the journey of Steve’s cancer recovery together. Not to mention Frank, Steve’s father, who attended numerous hospital appointments and is himself a cancer survivor. For months, the three of them were surrounded by dozens upon dozens of healthcare professionals.

Seeing their passion, courage, determination, and dedication, one simple question came to mind: Why don’t such incredible people deserve uniforms that match their excellence?

Garde-Malade is the realization of an idea that had been simmering in the minds of its founders for a long time. It is their way of bringing beauty into a sometimes challenging daily reality.

It is also their way of providing uniforms made right here in Canada—for our everyday heroes.
