Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At AmeriHealth Caritas, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) engages our associates, enhances our support for diverse suppliers, and strengthens our ability to build healthy communities for our members.

What is DEI?

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are distinct and mutually reinforcing.

  • Diversity is all the characteristics that make us who we are.
  • Equity is what we invest in our people to ensure all groups get what they need to grow, contribute, and develop.
  • Inclusion is how we create an environment where the diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences that each person brings are embraced, respected, and celebrated.

DEI is woven into the fabric of our organization, and not just because it's the right thing to do — it's also good business. By embracing different cultures, genders, ages, and abilities, we not only make ourselves stronger — we more effectively support our members and their communities.

“Diversity is one of our core values at AmeriHealth Caritas and has been since our inception. We work hard to engage our associates from all ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religions, and encourage them to bring their unique talents and commitment to serve our members. These varied perspectives improve our culture and our business outcomes.

As part of a company that truly embraces diversity and inclusion, our associates feel valued and the richness of what they bring spreads throughout the lives of our members, providers, and community partners.”

— Paul Tufano, Chief Executive Officer
