Dr. Mary Beth Melendez
Growing up in Wisconsin, I knew I wanted to be both a Doctor and an Olympian. From a very young age, I committed to competing and working towards my dreams becoming a reality. With the support of my family, coaches, and mentors, I was able to accomplish both goals.
Although the journey wasn’t without obstacles and setbacks, finishing fourth at the inaugural women’s Modern Pentathlon at the 2000 Olympics is still one of my happiest memories. The Doctor of Chiropractic degree came next in 2001, followed by a prompt return to training in preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Since then, I’ve had the benefit of learning from my own health journey and honing my craft with some of the best hearts in healthcare. Gratefully, I have experienced the joy of performing thousands of adjustments and seeing lives transformed.
