EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD A HOUSE... Psalm 127:1
SonRidge Health Center was founded by the highly respected health pioneer, Jack Garvy, Lic.Ac.
Nearly half a century ago, Jack was a student in one of the first acupuncture classes in New York City (1970). Jack then spent a decade studying nutrition and homeopathy in Boston, MA, apprenticing with Chinese and Korean acupuncture masters, Ho Fen Shen, John chang, James Tin So, and Yun Won Suh.
In 1980, Jack followed God's direction in his life and began a private practice in the western part of North Carolina. In 1985, he opened the Energy Medicine Clinic in the heart of Black Mountain. His clinic began to attract many new patients from 'word-of-mouth' testimonials, it was growing at a rate of 30 plus patients a week from around the country. By 1990, the clinic needed more space and so Jack moved his clinic to a nearby mountain and renamed it "SonRidge" to honor the true healer, Jesus Christ.
"...the sun of the righteousness will rise with healing in its wings..." Malachi 4:2
By 1998, Jack and his wife Angela opened SonRidge Health Center in St. Augustine. They continued to serve others in need of preventative and restorative healthcare.
In 2018, Jack asked Dr. Marty to come alongside him to help continue the vision. In 2019, he passed the mantle of service to Dr. Marty, who gratefully and humbly accepted, and now he continues God's work through the original vision that Jack had of offering hope, healing and health to all who come through SonRidge's door.
To God be the Glory!
