Why Diversity at ChenMed

By living out our values, ChenMed strives to eliminate disparities and racial inequities in health care.

DEI at ChenMed

Diversity
 Diversity is the celebration and raising of awareness of differences and similarities between team members and patients. At ChenMed, we commemorate holidays, heritage, and history months, encouraging team members and patients to represent their identities through cultural expressions of music, movement, food, and attire and creating moments of connection.
Equity
 Equity ensures fair treatment and access to opportunity, information, and resources. Through analytical data research, career growth programming, and new technology platforms, ChenMed identifies and removes barriers that could impact our team members' and patients' experiences and advancement.
Inclusion
 Inclusion provides a sense of belonging where everyone feels respected, accepted, supported, and valued. Through immersive and experiential learning experiences, like ChenMed’s “Love + Inclusion = Belonging” training, team members are given relevant life scenarios to reflect, respond to, and learn how to lead with love in a diverse environment.

Fostering Thought on DEI

DEI and How it Affects Employees

 Where there are groups of people, there is culture, including the workplace. Yet not all workplace cultures are created equally. Not all employers make use of a DEI strategy. In an increasingly diverse world, most recognize the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in creating a winning culture, not just in the eyes of the public but in the day-to-day experience of employees.
