Random and probably silly question

I’ve always been curious about this. Are hospital gowns in the ER and else where like after a surgery, reused for patients? I’ve been seeing mostly moms bring in their own gowns after surgery (on YouTube etc) and some say it’s for sanitary reasons. I don’t care if mine is reused, just like I don’t care that a restaurant fork has been in thousands of mouths, because they wash them (or I hope they do lol) So are gowns typically reused to save on costs?
