Humanitarians of the Year:
Boyd Campbell and Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson and Boyd Campbell, co-owners of Southeastern Biomedical Associates, Inc., regularly set time aside to participate in medical missions in places like Kosovo, Africa, and India. Their employees spend company time repairing equipment on which the company will never make a dime — equipment that Greg and Boyd will take with them to hospitals in need. They inspire their employees as well as their colleagues to do good. After going on several mission trips, Greg says, both of them have simply “caught the bug.” Each is planning a mission trip in the near future.
