Alice Johnson

Alice Johnson is a rural health Liberian nurse who hails from Lofa County. She got involved in nursing care after witnessing and living through many terrible experiences during and after the Liberian Civil War. As a nurse working in the hospital’s emergency department, she saw that many patients, especially those coming from last mile villages, could not make it to the hospital or were too late. As a person, a nurse, and an aspiring Public Health Practitioner, Alice is motivated by the fact that health is a basic human right and that everyone deserves quality health care no matter who they are or where they live. In a post war country like Liberia, she believes her country needs a grass roots health care approach that involves community health workers. While she is not working, Alice likes listening to music and chatting with friends. Her favorite Liberian dish is spicy potatoes and greens with palm oil. Alice was a site fellow at Last Mile Health in Liberia.
