James Johnson, Jr.

Chair at LifeLong Medical Care

James Johnson, Jr. studied African-American Studies and Public Health at U.C. Berkeley and currently works as an Analyst with the Solano County Health & Social Services Department. After his initial professional introduction to LifeLong Medical Care through participation in a work group that reviews and addresses the high prevalence of hypertension in certain communities in Berkeley, he developed a great appreciation for the work of LifeLong and its many sites throughout the Bay Area.

As a Bay Area native, James feels it’s especially important to improve this community and its health and wellbeing, and sees LifeLong as an organization that is grassroots enough to reach people outside of the clinical setting. It’s also large enough to make profound changes in the lives of families they serve. James is also an Advisor to a chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. as well as Chairing the Bay Area Alphas Education Foundation. He is a mentor through several organizations and involved with the Covenant Worship Center.
