We are thrilled to win the “Group Diversity & Inclusion” award from the Champions of Health Care program by Edge Magazine! (And for those of you keeping track, this is our second time earning a spot on this prestigious list.)

The Group Diversity & Inclusion award “honors an individual or company making strides in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion [DEI] in the local medical community,” and that’s precisely what our team sets out to do each day. Cempa was founded upon a desire to better serve marginalized communities, and that work has continued to evolve and grow over the past 30+ years. Today, our organization’s DEI efforts are guided by members of our internal diversity working groups and our formal DEI statement: 

“Cempa Community Care is committed to championing healthy, diverse, inclusive communities. Diversity, equity, and inclusion have always been at the core of our organization. Our commitment to care for all began decades ago as Chattanooga CARES and continues today. We are committed to creating an environment that empowers everyone to be their authentic selves, both internally and externally. We know this will help us better serve our employees, clients, and community.”

Please join us in celebrating #TeamCempa, without whom none of this would be possible. Awards like these keep wind in our sails and remind us that the work we’re doing doesn’t go unnoticed. For that reason, we’d also like to congratulate all of the other finalists and winners who are making Chattanooga a healthier, happier place to live.
