Clínica Médicos was founded in 2015 by Dr. Kelly Rodney Arnold with a simple but powerful vision: to create a bilingual medical home where Chattanooga's Latino community could receive compassionate, culturally-informed care — without barriers.
What began with a team of five now serves over 50,000 registered patients, with a dedicated staff caring for approximately 25,000 individuals each year.
Read Our StoryOur care model is built on four principles that shape every interaction, every service, and every relationship with our patients and community.
Care that builds trust and deepens the patient–provider relationship through genuine cultural understanding.
Compassionate care with affordable costs upfront. No patient is turned away due to inability to pay.
Our entire team is fully bilingual — every patient can communicate comfortably and feel at home.
Open 7 days, walk-ins welcome, and offering telehealth — because healthcare should meet people where they are.
