How to Get Started

Topic of the month

Pain Awareness Month

September is Pain Awareness Month. Because Johnson Health Center serves as a primary care facility, we are the first to see patients seeking help managing pain. Opioids are often used to treat pain. In 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services declared a public health emergency regarding abuse of opioids. In an effort to manage pain, Johnson Health Center offers alternatives to prescribing opioids such as Acudetox and counseling; both of which are outlined in this months video.

What Our Patients Say

“Best Doctors Ever!”

“The staff is very friendly. They know my name, took an interest in my children and myself and made me feel comfortable.”

“I’ve been taking my daughter here since she was born. They have several locations and if unable to get in one, I can be seen at there other location. They even take late appointments after 5:30. I love them- they are great with my child and everyone is always nice!”
