Get to know Anesthesiologist Dr. Rosemarie Marshall Johnson, who served patients in San Diego, California.


New York City, New York Jun 29, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Recognized as thoughtful and compassionate, Dr. Johnson is a retired anesthesiologist with over four decades of experience.

Since 2008, she has been involved with a program called Project Access - run by Champions for Health - which utilizes local doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals and hospitals as volunteers who donate their time, skills and materials, allowing patients with limited means to receive free health care. It is extensive with more than 625 volunteer physicians, 80 referring community clinics, 10 hospitals and 14 outpatient surgical centers, as well as ancillary health services that provide imaging, labs, medical equipment, physical therapy and more.

Well known to most physicians in the San Diego area, Dr. Johnson has helped the program recruit specialists. She has also been a passionate advocate for the underserved and uninsured in her county. 

Champions for Health recognized her with the "Health Heroes Lifetime Achievement" Award in 2017 for her volunteer service at their annual Health Heroes Awards reception at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach.  

Throughout her academic career, Dr. Johnson graduated with her Bachelor of Arts degree in French Literature & Pre-Med from Mount Holyoke College in 1960. She then went on to earn her medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1964.

Subsequent to her education, she attained board certification in anesthesiology through the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). The ABA sets standards and exams for the accreditation of board-certified anesthesiologists coming to the end of their residency. It is one of the 24 medical specialty boards that constitutes the American Board of Medical Specialties.

In the 1990s, Dr. Johnson was appointed to the U.S.- Mexico Border Health Commission to help develop an infrastructure to improve health care delivery and affect health policy change through bi-national collaboration. She also chose to serve organized medicine as president of the San Diego County Medical Society and the California Society of Anesthesiologists; and has participated in the California Medical Association and the American Medical Association in many different capacities.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient's vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient's respiration.

Recent events in Hong Kong and Spain illustrate the distinction between accepting political responsibility and being directly culpable.

Watsons takes holistic approach to Filipinos’ diabetes care

WORLD Diabetes Day is held annually on Nov. 14, but the entire month of November is a dedicated period on “Early action on diabetes,” which emphasizes early diagnosis, risk reduction for Type 2 diabetes and timely access to care. Among Filipinos, an estimated 4.7 million adults are living with diabetes, and more than half remain undiagnosed, making it a significant health concern in the country. According to the latest Philippines Statistics Authority data, diabetes mellitus is the fifth leading cause of death in the Philippines at 5.9 percent – after ischaemic heart diseases such as coronary heart disease/heart attacks which accounted for 21.2 percent of registered deaths of 23, 448 from January to March 2026; neoplasms or cancers, representing roughly 9.9 percent of deaths; cerebrovascular diseases or strokes at 9.6 percent; and pneumonia at 8.0 percent. Diagnosis — only the beginning Managing diabetes requires daily commitment — from taking prescribed medications and monitoring blood sugar to making lifestyle adjustments and attending regular checkups. As the country’s leading health and wellness retailer, Watsons believes diabetes care must extend beyond the numbers. Through its six-month Diabetes Educator Program, Watsons equips pharmacists with specialized training in diabetes management, patient counseling, and health education. These trained pharmacists serve as accessible healthcare resources, helping customers understand their prescribed treatments, properly use blood glucose monitoring devices, recognize early signs of diabetes, and know when to seek medical attention. By providing practical guidance and addressing everyday concerns, they help make diabetes care more manageable and accessible. “Diabetes management goes beyond keeping blood sugar levels in check. It requires early detection, proper medication, healthy lifestyle choices, regular monitoring and attention t overall health, including blood pressure and cholesterol. Patients should also understand their condition, develop healthy coping habits, and work closely with their healthcare team. With the right knowledge, consistent self-care, and support, patients can reduce their risk of complications and enjoy a better quality of life,” said Dr. Fatma Tiu, president of Diabetes Philippines Inc. Beyond physical health, Watsons also recognizes the emotional challenges of managing a lifelong condition. Patients may experience stress, frustration, or uncertainty as they balance treatment with everyday responsibilities. Having access to knowledgeable healthcare professionals who can listen, provide guidance, and encourage appropriate medical support can make a meaningful difference in their journey. Care solutions To support customers’ varying healthcare needs, Watsons offers a wide range of diabetes care solutions, including prescription medicines, vitamins, blood glucose monitoring supplies and specialized personal care products. Customers can also access free teleconsultation services inclu­ding specialized weight management consultations, by calling 7919-9999. For more accessible monitoring, Blood Glucose Checks are available for only P30 at Watsons, alongside other in-store health services. “The real challenge in managing long-term health isn’t just clinical; it’s human. When someone navigates diabetes care, every choice and every routine carries daily weight. As a trusted healthcare partner, our role extends far beyond the pharmacy shelf. We are reshaping community-based support so that expert guidance, preventive screening, and ongoing care become seamlessly integrated into everyday life, helping ensure no patient feels like they have to navigate their health journey in isolation,” Watsons Philippines Managing Director Danilo Chiong said. Customers can visit their nearest Watsons store for pharmacist guidance and diabetes care essentials or download the Watsons App to explore the wide range of products and services available. Customers can also shop through Click and Collect, with orders ready for pickup in as fast as 30 minutes, or Home Delivery Express, which brings their essentials straight to their doorstep.

A new generation of Filipino fashion designers and entrepreneurs took the spotlight at “The Closet Between Worlds,” a pop-up event in Escolta, Manila, showcasing emerging labels that combine contemporary style, local craftsmanship and sustainable business practices. Organized by Fashion Design and Merchandising (FDM) Business Track students of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB), the inaugural event drew more than 230 fashion enthusiasts to The Art District, providing young creatives with an opportunity to introduce their collections to potential customers and patrons.

Beyond apparel and accessories, the event introduced service-oriented businesses promoting responsible fashion consumption.
