Jessica Chen, M.D.

Jessica Chen, M.D., is a Venture Partner at F-Prime Capital and the Chief Health and Wellness officer of ThriveWell™, an umbrella company committed to promoting health, wellness, and longevity nationwide. Her mission to enhance people’s well span incorporates a holistic, community-based approach to care that moves beyond a typical clinical setting and focuses on purpose, healthy eating, exercise, spirituality, and preventive medicine. She also incorporates her personal experiences into her work. ThriveWell’s MRS Diet, for example, was inspired by Dr. Chen’s approach to feeding her own family. M, mostly plant-based. R, real whole foods. S, stop eating before you are full.

Dr. Chen perfected her holistic approach to care as the Chief Clinical Officer at ChenMed, a nationally recognized full-risk healthcare organization serving more than 200,000 patients across 15 states. At ChenMed, Dr. Chen helped implement a care model that reduced hospitalization by 30 to 50 percent and helped patients live, on average, five to seven years longer than their non-ChenMed counterparts. She then led the company’s clinical, recruitment, onboarding, training, and leadership programs; inspiring new generations of physicians to achieve the same results through a doctor/patient relationship built on trust and influence. Her efforts to achieve a culture of high-quality outcomes were instrumental in ChenMed being named to Fortune Magazine’s 2020 Change the World list, the only healthcare delivery organization so recognized.

Dr. Jessica Chen holds a doctorate degree from the University of Miami and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at UM/Jackson Memorial Hospital. She is actively involved in Nicaragua Medical Missions, a Christian non-profit organization that provides medical assistance to underserved communities in Nicaragua. She is married to her medical school sweetheart, Dr. Gordon Chen, ThriveWell’s Chief Executive Officer. Together, they have four children.
