Dr. Kara Johnson

Dr. Kara Johnson is a physician, CEO, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and international public speaker. Educated at Harvard University and the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and trained at the world-renowned Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Dr. Johnson was well-equipped to create Mountain View Medical Center, a multi-specialty medical center that brings world-class medicine to the people of Alaska. With an entrepreneurial spirit, Dr. Johnson grew Mountain View Medical Center from the ground up and created the most technologically advanced medical and surgical center in the state. 

But Dr. Johnson didn’t stop there. She also founded the international nonprofit, Gift of Sight, and co-founded the Prevention of Global Blindness fellowship, which empowers recent graduates to join this international community. Most recently, she started Troy Medical, a novel telehealth company that offers long-term subspecialty medical care to remote areas. In addition to this, Dr. Johnson is a member of the Seattle chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO).
