Gordon L. Chen, MD
Gordon Chen, MD, is the Chief Executive Officer of ThriveWell™, an umbrella company committed to promoting health, wellness, and longevity. The organization employs integrated, holistic offerings through two unique brands that provide concierge-style outcome-based medical care with access to an exclusive facility for motivated adults to maximize their healthspan (BLU By ThriveWell™) and a proactive approach to home care that keeps members active, eating right, mentally engaged, and productive (ThriveWell At Home).
Dr. Chen discovered how adults benefit from outcome-based, longevity medicine within a community-based environment focused on purpose, nutrition, movement, and spirituality when he and his family built ChenMed, America's leading primary care provider for older adults. As the organization's Chief Medical Officer, he helped over 200,000 older adults across 15 states significantly improve their outcomes and gain 5-7 healthier years.
Dr. Chen is also an accomplished author, co-writing "The Calling: A Memoir of Family, Faith and the Future of Healthcare," which outlines his family's story and their vision for proactive, transformative care. A graduate of Brown University and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and a preventative cardiology expert, Dr. Chen is deeply involved in charitable work, supporting medical missions in Nicaragua and at-risk youth through his family's non-profit, Youth Impact Center.

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.

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
