[Jgfamembers] jidan koon update

Tue Feb 19 17:41:59 PST 2008

Hi John Gardner Alumni!

Brian Bergmark and I were fellows last year (2006-2007).  For the JGF, I was
at Population Services International, under Senior VP Sally Cowal working on
safe water and child health.  Brian was at the Department of Health and
Human Services Office on Disability working for the Director and Deputy
Director, mostly on health policy.  We both had a phenomenal year.

We are currently both first year medical students at Harvard and are
planning on also pursuing master's degrees (we haven't decided on public
health versus public policy).

We've had a little time between studying cardiology and epidemiology to get
out and see Boston, which is about as close to being in San Francisco as you
can be in the Northeast.  We will be in Tanzania this summer working on a
pilot program to prevent rheumatic heart disease in children, and we've been
very active in working on climate change here at HMS.  In between returning
from Tanzania and starting year 2, we're (finally) getting married.

Our contact information is:
Regan Johnson/Brian Bergmark
33 Pond Ave, Unit 722
Brookline, MA 02445
617-640-7393 (Regan)
617-640-4393 (Brian)
617-879-1772 (landline)

If any of you are ever in Boston let us know!  We love having people over
for dinner.

Best wishes,
Regan Johnson (and Brian Bergmark)
