Project Director
Johna Alford
Johna comes from a medical background as a medical assistant. She worked for many years in the health care field and decided to make a change in careers and work with a different population. She has a vast background in working directly with clients but also in helping create workflows, train in the electronic medical record (EMR) program, and facilitate meetings.
Johna’s role at Wallowa Valley Center for Wellness is Grants Management. This includes working directly with the Chief Operations Officer on reporting, ensuring metrics are being met and helping staff use the EMR more effectively and efficiently.
In addition to these roles, she is part of the Network of Care and LCAC (local community advisory council) of Wallowa County. Johna also enjoys collaborating with community partners to help support community members better in their care.
