Chicago, Illinois
Copa: Which person in your past influenced your development and drive to move forward?
Dr. Jai: Well lets say it wasn’t actually a specific person because my journey and whom I am today leaped from catastrophic events such as horrific car accident, tornado, divorce, abuse and severe depression. As a teenager, I realized my passion for the medical field was rooted in me. Having survived a tragic car accident with my family, the love for medical became profound, and I knew that being able to give back to society using the therapeutic avenue as the vehicle was my calling. Striving for excellence has led me to provide quality care to everyone.

Copa: At what time did you establish Divine Medical-Healthcare Services and what type of services do you offer?
Dr. Jai: I knew all too well the lesson of sacrificing my own needs out of responsibility or guilt. I didn’t want to fall back into the trap of believing that tough circumstances were signs of my worthlessness. But yet, I still wasn’t sure what to do. How could I make use of my education and my degrees AND have a fulfilling career that lit me up each day? I prayed some more. That’s when I got the idea to start an after hours urgent and primary care clinic. Being in the medical field, I understood the need for such a practice, and I had the experience and desire to make it a reality. So many people I encountered daily didn’t have the means or insurance to seek out medical care. I could create a place that was both affordable and accessible for this under-served population. It wouldn’t be easy, but I could work this business in addition to my job until it got going. http://www.divinemedhealthcare.com/ |

Copa: Why should everyone be more concerned with their personal health more?
Dr. Jai: Often times health is brush under the rugs because of the unknown importance of the overall health facet. My ultimate goal has always been to treat my patients with the same love and care, which I treat my own family. Helping others to maintain and improve well-being is a burning desire that keeps me focused while promoting excellence from all eight aspects of health and wellness. After all, family comes first. The relationships that I build with my patients last for years. I am honored to be able to take care of multiple generations within a family and to offer my skills and experience to our community. |
Copa: Please share with our readers some information on your latest book.
Dr. Jai: My latest book is about my journey we call LIFE. I like to think about my life’s journey as a work of art. If it were easy to make a beautiful painting, we wouldn’t look in awe and amazement at paintings by great artists. A painting that is easy to create wouldn’t enthrall the viewer. It would look like the doodles someone might sketch as they sat through a tedious chemistry class. But a work of art has a history. Lots of thought and care go into a detailed painting. Sometimes the perspective or color doesn’t work, and the artist has to step back and try again until the figures coalesce into the perfect scene. That might happen on the first go, but more often than not, it would take hours of diligence and hard work to come up with a finished piece that is the true vision. That’s what our life’s journey is like and why it’s unimportant the path we take or the length of time spent journeying. The thing that is most important is what we create in the end and if we create that sense of awe in another person when all is through.

Copa: Why should more people consider to be entrepreneurs and why?
Dr. Jai: Entrepreneurs places individuals in another realm of business avenues. For me entrepreneurship was suddenly filled with a newfound passion. Maybe my entire life had led me right here so that I could be there for others in this innovative way. This endeavor would take a lot of re-balancing to make it a reality, but I was determined. I found a mentor who gave me guidance and support. I had a business degree, but this was going to be a practical exercise, not just the theories and ideas I was used to. Of course, this journey isn’t easy. From that point on, I knew I could handle any obstacle that surfaced. Some setbacks arose around the opening date, but I pushed through and found the answers. When a new challenge surfaces, like trying to get the word out to new clients or deciding how best to market the services, I don’t hesitate. I keep moving forward, looking for solutions, doing the research, and seeking out guidance. I may not be perfect, and I don’t have all the answers when it comes to building a business, but I do know how to persevere through adversity. My life has provided me with all the tools I need to be successful, because I know how to change course. I know how to adapt and to find new paths when the old ones are worn. I know how to move forward even when it feels like the world is against me.

Copa: What does the future hold for Dr. Jai in her amazing life of Medical care and business?
Dr. Jai: As Dr. Jai continues to wear many hats such as Medical Provider, Author, Educator, Legal Consultant, and Mentor. My purpose is to help others while enjoying life itself. To overcome, to go against and to go beyond is the mission. A self-motivator, optimistic, and conqueror ready to face any struggle without turning back; I am Dr. Jerwanda Johnson DNP FNP-C, a graduate from Chatham University and a Medical Provider at my very own clinic. My greatest strength as an individual is my ability to connect with people. Surviving heartaches, devastating events, and living in darkness has painted a vivid image of who I am today.
