Supplier Diversity Services
Diverse businesses and suppliers share a lot of the same values that we do here at AmeriHealth Caritas
We are invested in the neighborhoods our members call home, where populations are increasingly multicultural, multilingual, and multidimensional. We work to accurately reflect the diversity of those communities.
We understand the value of your diverse business and the impact its success can have on the local economy — your growth translates to more jobs in your community.
So it’s only natural that we actively return the support and partner with small diverse businesses through our Supplier Diversity and Mentor-Protégé programs.
Watch Ron Baldwin, Director of Supplier Management and Diversity, discuss the history and impact of our award-winning Supplier Diversity program. AmeriHealth Caritas has a long history of supporting businesses that reflect the diverse makeup of the communities we serve, helping to create economic growth, job opportunities, and a spirit of entrepreneurship in these neighborhoods.
Work with us. Let’s continue to shape our communities and achieve success in our common business goals, together.
