About Us
Mission
To educate patients and their families about how to protect their bodily privacy during medical procedures, how to advocate for their right to request same-sex medical professionals for intimate procedures, and how to recognize and help prevent sexual abuse and misconduct by medical professionals. We also educate medical professionals about the importance of respecting patient modesty, privacy, dignity, and personal boundaries.
What inspired Misty Roberts to start Medical Patient Modesty?
It began with a deeply personal experience
that shaped her understanding of dignity, privacy, and the importance of
speaking up when something isn’t right.
Kingdom Factor shared the story
behind Medical Patient Modesty —including what motivated Misty
to turn her passion for protecting patient dignity into a ministry dedicated
to helping others advocate for themselves.

Our Vision
We envision a healthcare system in which patients do not
feel pressured to ignore their deeply held concerns about bodily privacy
and modesty simply because they are seeking medical care. We want patients
to feel empowered to speak up, ask questions, request reasonable accommodations,
and advocate for themselves when they believe their modesty or privacy has
been disregarded. When patients experience a violation of their modesty,
we encourage them to document what happened and communicate their concerns
directly to the healthcare professional and/or hospital.
Patient complaints can bring attention to problems that might otherwise
remain unaddressed and can encourage healthcare providers to become more
sensitive to patient modesty.
The more patients are willing to speak up, the greater
the opportunity to change the way patient modesty is understood and respected
in medical settings.
Medical Patient Modesty does not address issues surrounding abortion or
euthanasia because MPM does not support these procedures.
