BENJAMIN JEROME PARVIN, M.Ed., PA-C
August 20, 1953 - August 15, 1999

Ben Parvin was the 1999 President of FAPA. Ben was a truly gifted leader in the PA community. He retired from the Air Force after a long and distinguished career. Ben was a teacher, an excellent clinician, and an avid golfer, but above all he was a devoted husband and father.

Ben was dedicated to the PA profession and was active in association chapters in multiple roles as an elected officer, committee participation, House of Delegates to the AAPA, just to name a few.  He was well respected as a leader by those who knew him. The FAPA PA Foundation established an annual charity golf tournament in his name, the Parvin Memorial. He made a difference and is missed. He was loved by his patients for his clinical skills and the personal concern that was evident in his day to day practice.

Ben's family was his primary concern above all and those who knew him well, had no doubts about that.

If you know of other physician assistants from Florida who have passed away, please send information to us on them as well for inclusion in this Memorial section. If you would like to add to the article, or provide a picture for publication you are encouraged to submit that to the Webmaster.

We need your support to make this effort more meaningful and to show the proper respect to our colleagues who are no longer with us. Thank you.
