Alan C Johnson MD FAAP
Medical Director
Dr. Alan Johnson founded PracticeWell and has been the spirit of the organization since 1991. He envisioned a non-profit organization that could transform medical care and he saw that group purchasing of medical supplies could improve medical care in the United States, and in the end, make people healthier. Dr. Johnson’s mission to help physicians become more aware of their business operations has helped PracticeWell members to provide affordable healthcare to more people. His involvement with the early HIV epidemic and many other infectious diseases that were once thought eradicated continues to motivate and inspire him to make a difference. Dr. Johnson recently retired after 48 years from being a practicing pediatrician and from his infectious disease consultations. Dr. Johnson holds a medical degree from the University of New Mexico and completed his postdoctoral work at Kaiser Foundation Hospital and the University of California, San Francisco. He lives in Sonoma, California with his wife, who retired after 35 years as a Pediatrician. He enjoys spending time with his three children and four grandchildren.
