(KSTP) Hilal Ibrahim started volunteering at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park when she was 14 years old.
“When I volunteered, a lot of women would wear white hospital blankets on their heads because there just wasn’t anything else available,” Ibrahim recalled.
That was 10 years ago.
She now works at the hospital, and over the years she’s noticed a significant need when it comes to hijabs, the head covering worn by some Muslim women.
“If you are a nurse in ICU, or surgery, or labor and delivery, you don’t want a scarf that is slipping off constantly; likewise, if you are a patient, you want something that is comforting,” she said.
