Jessica Chen, M.D.

A long-time advocate for health, wellness, and longevity, Dr. Jessica Chen has inspired countless older adults to live longer, more purposeful lives through healthy eating, exercise, and preventive medicine.

Dr. Chen perfected her approach 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 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.

As ThriveWell’s Chief Health and Wellness Officer, Dr. Chen is expanding opportunities to improve senior longevity outside of the typical clinical setting through a holistic approach to care. Her work aims to enhance the quality of life for older adults, promote their independence, and allow them to age gracefully at home.

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, who was formerly the Chief Medical Officer at ChenMed. Together, they have four children.
