Nina Ford Johnson, M.D., a Mobile pediatrician, was sworn in as the new president of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama during the Association’s annual meeting on Friday.
“A physician’s first responsibility is always to our patients. I am honored to lead an organization that is dedicated to supporting physicians and advocating for policies that allow us to provide the best possible care to our patients,” said Johnson said.
Originally from Indiana, Johnson has been practicing as a general pediatrician in Mobile since 2011. She graduated in 2003 from Tennessee State University with a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences and completed her medical doctorate from Meharry Medical College in 2008. She was a member of the Mobile County Board of Health from 2014 to 2019.
Johnson served the past year as president-elect of the Medical Association under President Mark LeQuire, M.D., whose term has expired.
The Medical Association of the State of Alabama is the largest professional organization representing physicians in Alabama, working to advance the practice of medicine, protect the physician-patient relationship and advocate for policies that improve healthcare access and quality.
