About John Lavitt

After growing up in New York City, John Lavitt has spent most of his adult life living in Los Angeles. In 2012, he was cured of Hepatitis C in a Clinical Trial. His blog "Spirit & Consequences" about his experiences in the trial led directly to his work at Alliance Health Networks as the Patient Advocate for Hepatitis Connect. As a writer, John has published work in three Chicken Soup For The Soul volumes as well as poetry in several journals and compilations. In 1989 and 1997, John lived on the Greek island of Patmos and worked with his mentor, the American poet Robert Lax. John hopes to follow in the footsteps of Robert as he continues on his journey, walking with compassion, humor and a bit of wisdom here and there.
