Dr. John Johnson
MARTINS FERRY Dr. John Johnson isn’t just a psychiatrist he’s also an entrepreneur who is making investments in the Ohio Valley that he believes will have a great impact on the community for years to come.
Johnson purchased the shuttered East Ohio Regional Hospital last spring and is working to reopen it this month.
But that wasn’t his first investment in the Ohio Valley.
In 2012 he bought the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel headquarters in downtown Wheeling. He announced recently that with help from developer Steven Coon of Coon Restoration & Sealants Inc. of Canton, Ohio, it will be turned into an apartment building with 110 units.
