Celebrating Connection, Advocacy, and Belonging at UC Davis Health

UC Davis Health is home to eight vibrant Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), each dedicated to fostering inclusion, support, and community across our workforce. These ERGs offer safe spaces for dialogue, mentorship, and cultural celebration—helping employees feel seen, heard, and empowered.
From organizing campus-wide events to driving equity-focused initiatives, the UC Davis Health ERGs are a cornerstone of the Principles of Community and a testament to the power of collective purpose. Visit this site throughout the year for interesting “Did You Know?” tidbits.
One shining example is the PRIDE ERG, which recently surpassed 1,100 members—making it the largest ERG in UC Davis Health history.
From the PRIDE ERG: The Importance of National Coming Out Day
National Coming Out Day, observed annually on October 11, is more than a date—it’s a declaration of authenticity, courage, and community. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, coming out is a deeply personal journey that can also be a powerful act of resistance and healing. This day as a reminder that visibility saves lives and that every story shared helps build a culture where everyone can thrive. You belong here whether you're out, coming out, or still exploring your identity. The PRIDE ERG stands with you—today and every day.
