Dr. Jeremy When It Comes to Our Health, Knowledge is A s a species we humans have had
a pretty tough run the last two years. We’ve been beaten, battered and bewildered by a global pandemic that’s proven both too fast to catch and/or too slippery to hold; seemingly one step ahead while we’re constantly two steps behind. In our desperate search for blessed relief we’ve generally uncovered more questions than answers and more problems than solutions. Reliable leadership has been lacking, and definitive direction in short supply. But we do have some real answers, we do have some solid solutions, and we do have some reliable leadership. Dr. Jeremy Willis, founder and CEO of Priority Toxicology Laboratories, is one of our dedicated medical professionals who has devoted his life and career to leading the fight in eliminating the uncertainty of our present, ensuring the sustained health of our future, and maintaining his personal commitment to education as a vital key as well as the primary direction to unlocking the promise of our next generation of leaders. Fascinated by the precision of science in general—and chemistry in particular—from an early age, young Dr. Willis applied himself to his earliest studies, going on to receive his PhD in organic chemistry from Tougaloo College before continuing his post-doctoral work at both the University of Florida and Emory University. This commitment to the rigors of scientific academia seamlessly dovetailed into generously sharing his gifts through education and mentoring, moving forward into teaching
in his chosen field of organic chemistry at renowned Moorehouse College. Following a decade of guiding young Moorehouse men and women to their most specific roadmaps of scientific success that began with terminal degrees of their own, Dr. Willis recently shared that his years of enriching and guiding young minds were among the most rewarding of his professional life. But of course his own family commitments multiplied through the years and his transition to the private sector eventually became both a professional necessity and a dream which need no longer remain deferred. Following in his father’s own entrepreneurial footsteps (himself head of his own construction company) in 2017 Dr. Willis created Priority Toxicology Labs to capably serve the growing needs of the greater Atlanta community with simple, clear and definitive direction- “Our goal is to help our community become more knowledgeable and ultimately be in control of their health.” And then just two years into his lab’s burgeoning success in that direction, the entire healthcare landscape changed dramatically. Whether we can consider it fortunate given our circumstances, Dr. Willis had nonetheless positioned his lab to be the rock which breaks the crashing waves of an ongoing healthcare catastrophe very few of us imagined possible.
