State Rep. Terry Johnson, D.O. ('91), with OU-HCOM students on Friday.

During his noon lecture, Johnson talked about his efforts in securing passage of legislation in the Ohio General Assembly to battle the proliferation of "pill mills" and prescription drug abuse.
Johnson, who represents southern Ohio's 89th House District, won unanimous approval of the legislation and the signature of Gov. John Kasich within five months of joining the Ohio House of Representatives.
Johnson, who is also a graduate of the NYCOM/OU-HCOM Health Policy Fellowship, used this victory as an example of the important role physicians can play in the development of public policy and legislation.
He also emphasized that the values developed in medical school and as a physician provide the perfect foundation for public leadership positions, and he encouraged students to get involved with the issues that affect patient care and physicians.
