A Southern Oregon native, Chad thought he might attend the College of Business when he arrived at Oregon State, but says he wasn’t interested in widgets, rather something more topical. So he studied health care administration in the CPHHS and during that time met his wife, Megan Bioletto-Melvin, MPH ’05. After graduation, they both moved to Los Angeles, where Megan went to work at Kaiser Permanente and Chad worked on his MPH at UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health, studying health policy and management.
