1712 E. Broad St. Richmond VA Dr. Jenling James Chen had been a doctor for many years when he founded JenCare Senior Medical Center.
JenCare Senior Medical Center is a family-owned primary and specialty care practice committed to delivering superior healthcare to Medicare-eligible seniors. Inspired by his own experience with a life-threatening illness, he developed a whole new way of delivering medical services that would provide a superior level of care and make a positive and measurable impact on patients’ lives. In 2004, Dr. Chen was diagnosed with cancer and given only two months to live. He and his family experienced firsthand what it was like to be on the receiving end of patient care, struggling for access to quality medical care while fighting for his life. Dr. Chen recovered, defying his original diagnosis. And he knew he had to do something to help others in their time of need to overcome the frustrations he experienced with the existing fragmented and unsympathetic healthcare system. That’s why he founded JenCare – to turn the healthcare system around and make it more focused, convenient and effective for the people who need it most – seniors. He established medical centers that are led by compassionate, expert doctors who coordinate all aspects of their patients’ care and hold themselves accountable for their results. By offering quality, empathetic, well-coordinated care, Dr. Chen saw big changes in his patients’ health outcomes. As of 2014, JenCare Senior Medical Center has 27 locations in Virginia, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky and Louisiana, with plans for additional expansion throughout 2016. Our patients' word-of-mouth referrals have helped us grow and provide our seniors with greater access to the quality healthcare they deserve.

Senior-focused health centers that focus on affordable, accessible healthcare Our commitment to providing superior health care to seniors. Our Medicare-friendly approach.
Our best-quality doctors and staff. These are just a few of the things that set us apart from other health care providers in the industry. JenCare Senior Medical Centers are committed to delivering superior healthcare to seniors. We believe in listening to and communicating with our patients in order to deliver care with respect and dignity – treating each patient as though they were a member of our own family.
When Dr. Jenling James Chen developed our model, he not only wanted to provide health care with kindness and empathy – he wanted to offer cutting-edge technologies and tools to make the patient experience better and preserve his patients’ quality of life.
With that objective in mind, JenCare Senior Medical Centers uses the most advanced technology available. Electronic Medical Records offer total transparency with specialists and hospitals, and a LifeCard patient identification system offers easy check-in at appointments and current medical information on your ID card which can even save your life in the event of an emergency. Our centers also use vital diagnostic equipment that saves patients trips to the hospital for tests, and we offer shuttles to transport our patients to and from our facilities.
We believe that these tools, our commitment to the patient experience and our physician-led culture can lead the way in an increasingly difficult-to-navigate healthcare environment – to clarity, family, health and peace of mind.
