John O. Lytle, MD

Even at a young age, Dr. Lytle knew he was going to be a doctor. He was quoted in the “back to school interview” from the local Paper (The Batesville Guard) that “I had to do good in the 2nd grade so I could go to medical school”. After an invitation from a respected colleague, Dr. Lytle joined the SVMIC Board in 2006 and served as the Vice Chair from 2015-2022.

Dr. Lytle also guides duck hunters in Arkansas during the winter and works as a deckhand on a charter fishing boat offshore in the summer.
