Steve leads the day-to-day management and operations of the ChenMed family of brands (Chen Senior Medical Center, Dedicated Senior Medical Center, JenCare Senior Medical Center and IntuneHealth®), which offer concierge-style medicine and better health outcomes to seniors in historically disadvantaged communities. The combined organization operates more than 125 senior medical centers in 15 states, holding true to the founding principle that James Chen, M.D., Ph.D., established more than 30 years ago that underserved seniors should have access to VIP primary care to keep them healthy and out of the hospital.

He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Portland State University and holds a Master’s degree in Business Administration and Health Services Administration from the University of Michigan, where he serves as an adjunct professor in the school of public health.
