Who are we?

Our story began in 2017, at the docks and aboard the vessels of Washington state’s beloved maritime companies where our founders, Dr. Ray and Ann Jarris, were approached by numerous vessel operators requesting our unique insight and medical expertise. It was here that Discovery Health MD found our stride thru the provision of expert medical advice and creative solutions for the challenging logistics of remote workers. We ferry our founders’ passion for disrupting norms by changing the paradigm for delivering care in remote environments, then pushed beyond these roles and went even further during the pandemic by expanding our efforts into COVID-19 testing and vaccinations to help protect not only our maritime community but our surrounding communities in which we live and operate.
