Our Story

Founded on the belief that healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.

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.

Our Care Model

The C.E.L.L. Approach — Care that honors every patient.

Our care model is built on four principles that shape every interaction, every service, and every relationship with our patients and community.

Doctor with patient
C

Cultural Competency

Care that builds trust and deepens the patient–provider relationship through genuine cultural understanding.

E

Compassionate care with affordable costs upfront. No patient is turned away due to inability to pay.

L

Language

Our entire team is fully bilingual — every patient can communicate comfortably and feel at home.

L

Logistical Ease

Open 7 days, walk-ins welcome, and offering telehealth — because healthcare should meet people where they are.

Médicos Mission Fund

No one turned away because of what they can't afford.

The Médicos Mission Fund is our financial safety net — ensuring uninsured and underinsured patients always have access to services. For many families, it's the difference between going without care and receiving the support they desperately need.

The Fund also supports the Médicos Advanced Surgical Obstetric Fellowship, equipping future physicians to serve underserved communities locally and globally.
