Teammate Badges

Your badge is a visible symbol that you are now a member of our family. While at work, always display your badge with the photo facing out on your collar, lapel or front pocket. 

Clinical Teammate Uniforms

As of May 4, 2021, Atrium Health is taking steps to enhance patient safety by standardizing the scrub colors worn by clinical teammates throughout the system. The consistent uniform colors will ensure patients and their family members know who is caring for them. You can determine the appropriate color for your position using the grid below. 

Teammates may begin wearing their new uniform color immediately, even if their current unit/location/role has a previously designated uniform color standard. If you are required to wear surgical scrubs for infection prevention purposes (OR areas, procedural areas, etc.), you will continue to follow the departmental policy for wearing surgical scrubs.

If you do not work in one of the areas shown in the table, contact your leader for uniform information. 

For visual reference when purchasing uniforms, please see the Visual Color Guide.

Effective May 6, 2021 the uniform policy for our Medical Group practices will be as follows:

• Levine Children’s teammates can wear a pediatric friendly scrub top with their designated scrub pants color
• Non patient facing clerical teammates may choose to wear teal scrubs or business casual attire. If they will be filling a patient facing role on a temporary basis they should wear teal scrubs.
• Deviations from the uniform standard determined from this survey can only occur on system designated days

Other Important Reminders

• Stay home when you are feeling ill with fever/respiratory symptoms. Teammates with cold or flu-like symptoms should notify Teammate Health at 704-631-0200, so teammate illness can be monitored.
• Hand Hygiene is essential, as is coughing/sneezing into your elbow. Continue using proactive standard infection prevention techniques.
• Take steps now to prepare for how you will handle possible disruptions in childcare and other personal responsibilities so that you are available to provide vital care for our communities.
