NILES - With a large medical field in the Niles area, the need for stores that supply nurses, dental assistants and vet technicians with the scrubs they need for their job is a great one.
Those needing scrubs will no longer have to drive to either South Bend, Ind. or St. Joseph to find these speciality pieces of clothing.
Joyce's Scrubs and Gifts has opened at 213 E. Main St. in Niles in the former Falvey's building.
Tittle added that the entire family is involved in the medical field in one way or another. She is a nurse at Lakeland Hospital, her son, Deon, is a respiratory therapist, her daughter, Dawn, is a PRN and even her ex-husband, Tony, also works at Lakeland.
Joyce's offers a number of scrub lines to cater to the needs of their many different customers.
The store will soon feature a line of nursing gifts. "With nursing school being such a demanding time in one's life we wanted to offer gifts tailored to meet the needs of these individuals," said Dawn Horst, Tittle's daughter.
