"The Calling" Memoir Wins Gold in 2022 Global Book Awards

ChenMed's Chief Executive Officer Dr. Chris Chen and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Gordon Chen took home the Gold in the 2022 Global Book Awards for their memoir, The Calling: A Memoir of Family, Faith, and the Future of Healthcare. The book was chosen out of hundreds and claimed the top spot in the Biographical - Professional & Academic category. The awards recognize authors with global appeal in the publishing industry.

As a part of their mission to revolutionize America's healthcare system, the Chens wrote the book to shine a light on how an expensive, uncoordinated, and confusing system works for itself at the expense of suffering patients. The Calling tells the story of how ChenMed, a physician-led, mission-driven company, is transforming care of patients from forgotten and underserved communities by taking a proactive and preventive approach to care.

"We're grateful to the Global Book Awards for the recognition of our first memoir, The Calling. We believe our family was called to bring affordable, VIP care to people who need it most, and through our book, we hope to continue to inspire change and transform communities left behind by America's current transaction-driven healthcare system." – Chris and Gordon Chen
