He is also a colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve Medical Corps, where he has served for 25 years. 

“As a 25-year Army Reserve veteran, I resonate with the unique needs of our members and am dedicated to enhancing the member experience. There is a continued and growing need to help members understand their complex medical needs and conditions, and GEHA provides the resources, tools and education for the ultimate goal of self-empowerment,” Dr. Johnson said in a Nov. 2 press release. “Our members are best served when we understand the communities in which they live and can leverage an evidence-based approach to care that ensures everything we do is focused on meeting those unique needs.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
