From Utah to Kenya, Guatemala, Honduras—and soon, Jordan. Bobbi John is a sonographer by day, but her passion for patient care has taken her far beyond the walls of St. George Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic. Since 2017, she’s been volunteering on medical missions in some of the world’s most underserved communities, where headlamps replace overhead lights and gratitude flows freely from patients who typically experience long waiting periods for care. From scrubbing sheets in buckets to helping a young girl with a year-old injury, Bobbi’s story is a powerful reminder of what it means to serve with heart, humility, and purpose.
