Injury Prevention Professionals to Know 2025

Dr. Jay Johannigman is a Cincinnati trauma and critical care surgeon who has returned home to serve the region that shaped his career. After 46 years in military medicine, he retired from the U.S. Army Reserve as a colonel in 2025 and is now focused on strengthening Cincinnati's emergency preparedness and injury care. For much of his career, Dr. Johannigman was a defining figure in Cincinnati medicine. As Trauma Medical Director and Chief of the Institute of Military Medicine at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, he helped build one of the region's most advanced trauma and acute care programs. He was also a founding leader of Cincinnati's C-STARS (Center for the Sustainment of Trauma and Readiness Skills), one of the first military-civilian training partnerships in the country, where Air Force medical teams trained for deployment right here in the Queen City. Today, back in Cincinnati, his focus is local and forward-looking. He is developing a geriatric injury prevention program to reduce falls among older adults, a growing concern as the region's senior population climbs, and he is helping area hospitals and first responders plan for large-scale emergencies before they happen. His Cincinnati work is grounded in a rare depth of experience. Over seven combat deployments, Dr. Johannigman served as a Critical Care Air Transport (CCAT) flight surgeon, trauma director, deputy commander, and director of clinical services in combat hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan. He brought those hard-won lessons home, translating battlefield medicine into better care for civilian trauma patients. His service earned some of the military's most respected honors, including the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Army Commendation Medal. Beyond Cincinnati, Dr. Johannigman remains active in national medicine. He serves as Chief Medical Officer at Knight Aerospace, where he helps design airborne medical evacuation systems, and as Professor of Surgery at the F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine at the Uniformed Services University. He has held national leadership roles including State Trauma Chair and Region Chief for the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, and he remains involved with the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma and the American College of Surgeons.
