Jill A Grimes

Jill Grimes, MD, FAAFP, is a nationally recognized medical media expert,

award-winning author, and proud mom of two awesome collegiate daughters. After

two decades of private practice, Dr. Grimes now splits her time between writing,

speaking, volunteering for public health initiatives, and seeing patients. She

also enjoys speaking at American Academy of Family Physicians, Pri-MedŽ, and

Harvard Medical School conferences.

Dr. Grimes loves creating and thinking outside the box- in and out of

medicine. She and her daughters were involved with scouting for a decade, then

joined the National Charity League to continue mother-daughter service to their

community. Favorite charities? Saint Louise House and Mobile Loaves & Fishes.

Pet peeve? Fast-food medicine. "Stop popping pills for problems that lifestyle

modifications will solve. Medicines are wonderful and often necessary, but let's

not rely on them to be the whole solution."
