Community

The team of Johnson Dermatology Clinic is dedicated to our community. Dr Brad was raised in Greenwood and still has many extended family members in the community. We are committed to the current and future well being of the Greater Ft Smith Region. A prime example is that the doctors invested in obtaining the first LEED certified medical clinic in the state. Drs Brad and Sandy perform free skin cancer screenings at various locations and at various times. For the past 2 years, Johnson Dermatology has partnered with the Reynolds Cancer Support House for a free skin cancer screening on Melanoma Monday, as well as, a summer sun SMART program. The doctors assist in training AHEC residents, other medical providers and UAFS students. The clinic volunteers to provide dermatologic health care for the Good Samaritan Clinic. Since 2006, local artists have displayed their art throughout the clinic. Team members participate in many health fairs and community seminars. For example, Terri and Shelly recently spoke to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life teams. The clinic is a proud supporter of many community and school organizations.

She has also served on the Health Care Council for the Ft Smith Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Directors for the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and the Laser Safety Committee for the Arkansas State Medical Board.
