Joseph Q. Jarvis, MD, MSPH has practiced family medicine and organized public health services for over thirty-five years. His spouse of nearly five decades, Annette W. Jarvis, is an internationally recognized business bankruptcy attorney. Together they have five children and nine grandchildren.
Dr. Jarvis is the author of three other books—The Purple World: Healing the Harm in American Health Care, What the Single Eye Sees: Faith, Hope, Charity, and the Pursuit of Discipleship, and The Hope of the Promise: Israel in Ancient and Latter Days. He is the executive producer of Healing Us, a documentary film by director Kenny Ballentine about the awful state of business as usual in American health care and how everyday Americans can change it all for the better. Dr. Jarvis is also helping to organize a national political action committee—the American Health Security Project—to support health system reform everywhere across the country and leading a Utah group—Common Sense Health Care for Utah--which intends to make real change in health care delivery in the Beehive State through a ballot initiative.
When not busy with publishing, writing, leading health system reform, or spending time with family, Dr. Jarvis leads tours in Europe and Israel with his travel company, Mo Joe Travel. Dr. Jarvis is also the owner of Principle Print & Media, a company dedicated to producing inspirational and educational content that will make a difference in the world.
