Dr. Matthew and KaCey Johnson are chairing the 2020 Lincoln Heart Ball gala on March 7 at the Embassy Suites – Lincoln. Dr. Johnson works all over the state, specializing in cardiovascular disease. Dr. and Mrs. Johnson’s passion for the American Heart Association stemmed from an evaluation of an irregular rhythm Dr. Johnson had in high school.
