About

Dr. Jacob Kendall helps patients, caregivers, and providers do better at heart disease and, by extension, life in general. Our health is 4-dimensional (or more), and so should be our healthcare. He has had 2 open-heart surgeries and has been a full-time caregiver for multiple members with heart disease. Jacob also is a theogerontologist with a broadly interdisciplinary background in biology, social work, and public health. For fun (and also spiritual growth) he reads a wide range of literature, his favorites being quantum mechanics, animal behavior, early American history, religion, and Stephen King. Indeed, his lifelong goal since childhood has been to become a true Renaissance person, which also – in addition to the above – has included accumulating 25 passport stamps so far and learning and enjoying multiple musical instruments. He currently lives with his wife and son on Mobile Bay in Alabama.
