The proceeds from this fund will provide medical relief, medical supplies, prescriptions, and other assistance to refugees and victims of natural disaster. Catholic Charities will carry out Dr. Johns’ legacy to improve medical help and support for those most in need.

He established Woodruff Leadership Academy to help carry out Emory’s mission for teaching, research and patient care, and he oversaw the most extensive facilities improvement in Emory history. He is also responsible for consolidating Emory’s clinics and hospitals into Emory Healthcare, now the largest, most comprehensive health-care system in Georgia. Dr. Michael M. E. Johns impacted the lives of thousands of people in Georgia for the better.

In addition to leadership positions for medical organizations too numerous to list, he also serves on many private-sector and philanthropic boards, including Catholic Charities’ Board.
