About Heather

Heather Johnson is a founding member of the Impact 100 DC chapter. She was initially attracted to the organization by the concept of a diverse group of women supporting, in a significant way, the needs of those in the Washington Metropolitan area.

Heather is a retired obstetrician and gynecologist after delivering over 3,500 babies during her 40-year tenure. She was senior partner at Reiter, Hill & Johnson, an Advantia practice. She received her Doctor of Medicine at Yale University School of Medicine and completed her residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She served in the U.S. Army for eight years prior to going into private practice.

While a mother and nana (she has two adult children, an attorney, and a physician, and two adorable granddaughters) and an OBGYN at heart, Heather is also passionate about giving back to her community. She has served on boards and committees at Columbia Hospital for Women, Sibley Memorial Hospital, Hospital for Sick Children, Mary’s Center, The Landon School, and Stoneridge, and is currently on the Medical Advisory Committee for the National Menopausal Foundation and a member of the Women’s Wellness, Health & Aging Project/Johns Hopkins. 

She enjoys teaching and has been at numerous worksites and on blogs and Zooms discussing subjects from breast feeding to osteoporosis, to menopausal signs and symptoms to postpartum depression and many more. She has published two books for her patients, one on preconception/pregnancy and postpartum life and another on pre/peri/menopausal and postmenopausal life.
