Global Health Experience
Johnna’s global health passions derive from past volunteer service trips to Maun, Botswana, and San Salvador, El Salvador. After Hurricane Katrina, Johnna volunteered with Good Samaritan and was able to help short term with a FEMA medical site due to her medical experience. In PA school, she completed a 6 week rotation in HIV/AIDS and hospital medicine at McCord Hospital in Durban, South Africa. Today she sees global health problems present daily at Denver Health with its high refugee, immigrant, and homeless population.
