Whitney Young Health (WYH) welcomed Kelly Jarvis, PA-C, Physician Assistant, in May 2024 as one of the organization’s newest providers.
Jarvis earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of North Carolina Asheville in 2020 before earning her Master of Medical Science, Physician Assistant Studies from Methodist University in 2023.
Prior to her career as a Physician’s Assistant, Jarvis was an emergency medical technician, medical assistant, and sexual assault counselor; her journey of medical service dating back to high school.
Jarvis says that she has always been passionate about serving others, one of the factors leading her to join the WYH staff.
“I wanted to serve a diverse population and be able to work in a family medicine setting where I get to see patients of all ages with varying backgrounds,” said Jarvis. “I hope to be able to learn new things from patients while also providing them care that may not have been as accessible to them before.”
Jarvis will serve patients as a family medicine provider at WYH’s flagship health center, located at 920 Lark Drive.
