Identifying your gender pronouns on your name badge creates space for others to feel comfortable in sharing theirs. Asking others “how you can respectfully refer to them” is a simple yet powerful way to acknowledge and support for our colleagues and patients.

As part of our ongoing commitment to promote a more diverse, equitable, accessible, and inclusive environment for patients and team members, you can get a gender pronoun badge rider. Wearing this rider aligns with our mission to strengthen the health and well-being of all people in our communities. Our mission guides us in creating a more inclusive and welcoming experience for everyone at Augusta Health, patients, and team members alike.

While delivering respectful and compassionate work and patient experiences, including the use of an individual’s displayed or shared pronouns, is an expectation of all; choosing to attach the pronoun badge rider is entirely voluntary.  It’s a personal decision and we respect all choices.
