Inclusive Quality Care
Matching bilingual service providers with clients is key to personalized, effective care. When clients receive services in their preferred language, it boosts understanding, comfort, and trust. Bilingual providers also navigate cultural nuances, reducing miscommunication and ensuring clients feel respected. This leads to better outcomes and a more inclusive, accessible environment.
Wear your identifiers proudly
Active Offer and bilingual identifiers are key to providing inclusive, respectful healthcare. By proactively offering services in both official languages, we improve patient understanding, satisfaction, and overall experience. Bilingual identifiers like Bonjour/Hello badges and signs show patients that French services are available and they can communicate in their preferred language, helping create a welcoming environment.

Hello Bonjour identifying items
Designated bilingual employees are required to wear one of the green Hello/Bonjour identifying items available from French Language Services.
However any bilingual employee who wants to identify as being willing and able to provide service in French is welcome to wear one of these items. The following items are available to you:
- Lanyard
- Badge pull
- Magnetic badge
- Badge with pin
Employees who are learning French who are not yet fully confident using their French with colleagues or patients are encouraged to wear a: J’apprends le français badge. This signals your desire to use your French without creating an expectation you will be able to speak fluently.
If you would like to order a Hello/Bonjour item, please contact Lise at 431-276-8752 or [email protected]
