Chris Meadows, MHA, CM
Hi, I’m Chris Meadows, President and Owner of Bio-One of Gaithersburg. At my core, I believe in showing up for people during their hardest moments. That belief is what led me to this work, and it continues to inspire me every single day. I feel grateful to help families, neighbors, and communities find peace of mind when life feels overwhelming.

My journey began in the U.S. Army as a Medical Service Corps Officer, where I learned the true meaning of service. After the military, I spent more than a decade in healthcare, working with teams that developed life-saving medical technologies for patients battling heart disease. Those experiences shaped me, but what drives me now is something deeper: making a direct and meaningful difference in people’s lives right here in our community.

At Bio-One of Gaithersburg, my team and I are committed to serving Maryland and Virginia with compassion, respect, and discretion. Beyond my work, I stay connected to causes that matter, including mentoring veterans as they transition into civilian careers, supporting students as they prepare for their futures, and advocating for children in need through CASA. For me, this is not just about running a business. It is about being a steady hand and a trusted neighbor when it matters most.

Stronger Communities Start with Compassion

More than cleanup—it’s about community. We go beyond cleanup to support real people in real need. We’re not just here to clean. We’re here to care.

Bio-One works closely with first responders, local agencies, and community groups to help those facing crisis, loss, or trauma.

  • We support local efforts to promote safety and healing.
  • We show up when people need real help.
  • We give back however we can—because this work is personal.

No matter how we grow, our mission stays the same: Always put people first, help with heart, and do the right thing.
