BOOKS BY DR. SAMPSON DAVIS & SHARLEE JETER:
MORE ON DR. SAMPSON DAVIS:
Dr. Sampson Davis is an emergency room physician, public speaker, philanthropist, and New York Times bestselling author.
He was raised as the fifth of six children in Newark, one of New Jersey’s poorest cities. As a child, Dr. Davis grew up in cramped living quarters, surrounded by fragmented families, crime, and drugs. Still, he was a good student, able to strike the fragile balance between being smart, yet socially acceptable on the streets. It was this skill, Dr. Davis says, that was most critical to his survival.
While attending University High in Newark, he met Rameck Hunt and George Jenkins, two fellow students who together made a promise to become doctors. Today, all three have fulfilled their pact. In 2000, during his residency, Drs. Davis, Hunt, and Jenkins felt the burning need to give back and together they created The Three Doctors Foundation. The non-profit organization offers a series of free public programs focused on health, education, leadership and mentoring. (www.threedoctorsfoundation.org)
Dr. Davis has appeared on numerous talk and radio shows including Oprah, The Today Show, The View, and Tavis Smiley NPR, as well as in print publications including Readers Digest, O Magazine, People, Washington Post, NY Times, USA Today, Vibe and Black Enterprise. Oprah Winfrey delivered her highest honor to Dr. Davis, naming him, “The Premiere Role Model of the World.”
Dr. Davis has co-authored many New York Times bestselling books. His titles include: The Pact, We Beat the Street, The Bond, and Living and Dying in Brick City: An ER Doctor Returns Home. Dr. Davis was honored in 2000 with the Essence Lifetime Achievement Award as well as named one of their forty most inspirational African Americans in the country. He is the youngest physician to receive the National Medical Association highest honor, The Scroll of Merit, and was honored on national television with the 2009 BET Awards.
Dr. Davis is committed to making a deep and positive impact on the world and is determined to inspire others to find the STUFF within themselves. Dr. Davis resides with his family in his home state of New Jersey.
