“At The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education, we are deeply honored and grateful to be recognized by the Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce as the 2024 Diversity Champion Business of the Year. As a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike and a national leader in community-based graduate medical education, we hold ourselves accountable to model the values of diversity, inclusion, and equity in every interaction with our patients, learners, employees, and community members. Our mission — to improve the health and welfare of our communities through inclusive and responsive health services and the sustainable renewal of an inspired, competent workforce that is privileged to serve — motivates and guides everything we do.

This honorable and most welcomed recognition acknowledges our commitment to nurturing an environment where everyone, regardless of insurance status, ZIP code, ability to pay, race, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation, has access to responsive and inclusive whole-person primary health services and feels valued and respected. By embracing diversity and creating a truly inclusive atmosphere, we are committed to tackling health disparities, expanding equitable access to care, equipping our interprofessional workforce to excel, and empowering our patients to take charge of their health and well-being. As we continue this important, mission-driven journey, we remain steadfast in our advocacy and actions to ensure that everyone is welcome and no one feels marginalized, overlooked, and underserved.” - Dr. Linda Thomas-Hemak, President and CEO, The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education
