The Red Couch on the Road
Originally created as an internal space to share insights, spotlight innovation and encourage open dialogue, The Red Couch was designed to break silos and build stronger collaboration across Johnson & Johnson.
Today, it has grown into The Red Couch on the Road, a powerful storytelling platform that promotes authentic, transparent dialogue about the evolving landscape of healthcare. Led by Vanessa Broadhurst, Executive Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs at Johnson & Johnson, each episode reveals the people and ideas reshaping the future of care.
This chapter of the series explores the stories behind J&J CareCommunity, our global social impact platform that champions health workers who connect their communities to care.

Episode 2: Living Our Credo with Operation Smile
For over 35 years, Johnson & Johnson has worked with Operation Smile to provide more than 400,000 smiles to children and young adults born with cleft conditions. At the heart of this work are more than 50,000 J&J employee volunteers, also known as “Smile Champions,” who have volunteered their time, talent and expertise to help support the organization.
In this episode, Vanessa meets two Smile Champions, Jim Richardson, Account Specialist, J&J MedTech Canada, and Fernanda Oliveira, Health Economics Senior Manager, J&J MedTech Brazil, to hear what drives them to help more kids smile and stories from their experiences volunteering alongside health workers around the world.

Building on our legacy, J&J CareCommunity is rooted in championing nurses and health workers, the heart of the care system, and advancing programs that improve access to quality care for communities worldwide.
