Meet Joseph Jarvis
I’m Dr. Joseph Q. Jarvis, author of 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 & Latter Days,
My latest book, For the Hurt of My People: Original Conservatism and Better, Simpler Health Care is now available.
I am passionate about reforming the way we Americans do health care business.
I have joined with many other Utahns to start a non-profit organization, Common Sense Health Care for Utah. We will bring real and sustainable health system reform to the voters of Utah by ballot initiative in 2026. Better, simpler health care will finance needed medicine and surgery for every Utah resident with no out of pocket payment at the time of service.
I love to study religion and spirituality and gladly share insights with others interested in the gospel.

In For the Hurt of My People: Original Conservatism and Better, Simpler Health Care, Joseph Q. Jarvis, MD, MSPH, a long-time public health physician, offers practical ideas on how to untangle the messy politics which keep our nation from really reforming how we do healthcare.Illness or injury should not be reduced to a business opportunity, but instead should be a chance to meet individual need and thereby promote the general welfare of American society.
In The Purple World, Dr. Joseph Q. Jarvis, MD, examines how our nation’s focus has radically shifted from the disease to the dollar—drastically harming Americans in the process.
