Yvette R. Johnson, MD

I was called to medicine by a passion to serve those in need, particularly the most vulnerable among us.

My interests outside of​ medicine include caring for my two children, spending time with family and friends, as well as participating in community Arts events, reading, and traveling.

Along with my clinical responsibilities caring for high-risk newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit, I have a particular interest in neonatal outcomes and developmental follow-up. My current role at Cook Children's Hospital is to serve as the Medical Director of the newly formed NICU graduate developmental follow-up program called the N.E.S.T. developmental follow-up Center.​​
