About Me

Hi, I’m Alyssa Johnson a Community Health Worker in the Gastroenterology Intestinal Rehabilitation outpatient clinic. I have a bachelor's degree in public health, and I am Master of Public Health (MPH) student specializing in Healthcare Administration. I’m deeply passionate about transforming healthcare systems to be more equitable, accessible, and patient-centered—especially for underserved populations.

​

This blog began as part of my graduate coursework in HCA 626: Healthcare Information Systems, evolving into a platform  aimed to explore how digital health tools can bridge care gaps, empower patients, and improve public health outcomes.

​

My goal is to create policies that ensure patients and families have access to—and education about—resources that reduce and address health-related social needs. I want to develop strategic and tactical approaches to identify best practices, standardize workflows, and propose actionable plans to improve systems. I aim to manage capital and operational budgets effectively, ensuring that public health policies prioritize safety, affordability, quality, satisfaction, and access.

Long term, I hope to collaborate with patients, nurses, physicians, and researchers to design and implement data-informed business plans, measure performance, and drive sustainable improvements in healthcare delivery. I know I have a long journey ahead, but I’m confident I’m on the right path—and I’m excited to share what I learn along the way.

Whether you're a fellow student, health professional, or someone passionate about the future of  public health, I hope you’ll find inspiration and insight here.​
