As a doctor, Ankrehah “Kre” Trimble Johnson was particularly saddened when 17-year-old Courtlin Arrington, a student at Huffman High School, was killed in 2018.
“The first thing we started doing was the Courtlin Arrington Scholarship … for Birmingham City Schools [BCS] girls who were interested in going into the field of medicine,” said Johnson, president and owner of Brownstone Healthcare and Aesthetics, a family medicine practice in Trussville, Alabama.
Once in medical school, Johnson chose family medicine as her specialty.
“I picked family medicine because I did a rotation in Marion, Alabama, at the [Vaughan Marion Rural Clinic] early in my fourth year of medical school, and the elderly people there were just everything,” she said.
“We were met with a lot of challenges trying to get patients to be able to be seen in the safety of their homes,” Johnson said.
