The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) has been named a Silver-level CareFirst Healthy Business for its commitment to supporting employee wellbeing and fostering a healthier workplace culture.
“This recognition reflects the effort and care we put into maintaining the health and wellbeing of our team. Pursuing a world free of diabetes and all its burdens matters deeply and sometimes carries emotional weight. Every day we work to meet people where they are and support them in their health journey. To be successful, we believe that starts with ourselves,” said Charles “Chuck” Henderson, the ADA’s chief executive officer.
CareFirst Healthy Business recognizes employers who demonstrate a meaningful commitment to employee wellness through strategy, programs and workplace practices that support whole-person wellbeing. Being recognized at the Silver level for a strong commitment to employee wellbeing places the ADA among organizations that are intentionally investing in workplace wellness, not as a one-time initiative, but as an ongoing priority.
“One of the most meaningful benefits for me is the comprehensive diabetes supply coverage. Living with type 2 diabetes since I was 14, having access to tools like a continuous glucose monitor and medication without financial stress has made a real difference in how I manage my health,” said Jamia Haynes, MPH, the ADA’s senior manager of health access and quality.
The ADA offers a wide array of wellness programs and resources to support employees’ physical, mental, financial, and social wellbeing as part of its total rewards package. To learn more about working at the ADA, please visit /Careers.
