Back in the day, Dr. Johnson worked at an Easter Seals Camp as the Arts Director. The summer was filled with heat, joy and hard work that created cherished memories for campers and counsellors alike. As a Developmental Pediatrician, Dr. Johnson continues to see the value of Easter Seals on a daily basis as she completes many applications for the Incontinence Grant Program and participates in talking about Easter Seals camping experiences for many of her patients.
Dancing with Easter Seals Stars is the next opportunity to show up for her patients and their parents while having fun dancing!
