Celebrate your achievements helping others
New recognition badges to celebrate your success
Mayo Clinic Champions now can earn digital badges for reaching out to others. You are making a difference with your experience. The recognition badges are just one small way to celebrate your impact. Whether you’re spreading the word one conversation at a time, sharing the latest Mayo Clinic research or planning an event, you’re inspiring others to make a difference too.
You also can earn additional badges by participating on Connect, the online patient-to-patient community.
How it works
You can start earning badges today. It’s as easy as visiting the My Goals & Badges section in your profile, selecting a badge, and logging your shares or events. Connect-specific badges are earned as you post and interact within the online community. Badges have bronze, silver, and gold statuses that can be earned as you continue to help others. Below are some of the Mayo Clinic Champion badges that you can earn:
- Social Master – shared Mayo Clinic news via social media
- Maven – spoke at a meeting or event about your health journey
- Storyteller – told my health journey story to someone
In the comments below, tell us what you think about the new features or let us know what your favorite badge is.

I am on Briviact and it has changed my life I no longer have Partial Complex Seizures I would like to get this out that my insurance covered it for me and now I am a new person I was a Patient to Mayo Client in the early 2000’s I am now able to live without fear I would like to get the word out to the doctors at Mayo that this is a wonder drug for some reason…
Hello Cindy. I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well. If you’d like to reach out to others about your experience online, there is an Epilepsy and Seizures group on Connect: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/epilepsy-2bb359/ . If you’d like to share your experience with others in person, the Mayo Clinic Champions has some tips on that: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/champions/community-outreach-tools/ I’m sure others would love to hear about your experience.
