St. James Rebadging Project Update

The rebadging project at St. James is making steady progress. Badge printing and distribution began the week of June 8, department by department, and continues through July. 

Important Badge Information

• Badge Requirements for Peaks: 
  As of June 1, healthcare practitioners in the Peaks Region must wear visible identification with their name and licensure.

• Café charge access sign-up: 
  Caregivers who would like to use their badge for café purchases will need to self-sign up to have café charges added to their badge access. Click here for more details on how to enroll.

Want to update or preview your photo?

• If you prefer not to use your previously submitted photo, you may email a new photo to StJamesBadging@imail.org.

  • Any new photo submitted must meet the standard badge photo requirements outlined in Intermountain Health policy.

    Should your photo not meet these standards, we’ll either reach out to you for a new photo or use your security photo (if available).

• If you don’t recall which photo was submitted and would like to preview it before badge creation, you may also send a request to StJamesBadging@imail.org.

Badge Photo Instructions

For the perfect headshot, read the instructions below to ensure that your badge photo meets the standards.

Setting:

• Choose a blank white or light-colored background

• Your photo should only include you

• Use natural light from windows or a selfie light

Your look:

• Wear darker colors or softer tones and avoid bright colors, logos, bold designs, or colors like taupe, plain white, or nude.

• Do not wear a hat, sunglasses, or anything that changes your work appearance.

• Wear glasses? Include them in your head shot.

 Technical Specs:

• Snap the photo at least six feet away to allow for ample space for cropping.

• Keep the camera settings at default and do not zoom in.

• Take the photo from the waist up to allow for easy headshot cropping.

• Take the photo in vertical orientation; no selfies or ‘Portrait’ mode.

• Refrain from post-photo editing; let your natural shine come through.

• If using an iPhone, save it as a .jpg file (not .heif): Open Settings > Camera > Formats > Ensure “Most Compatible” is selected.

Take the Picture:

• Have someone (e.g. spouse, partner, bestie, sibling) take the photo for you or set up a tripod for a self-timer shot.

Photos should reflect a professional appearance consistent with Intermountain Health standards and brand guidelines.
