About the Author

Dianne Marie Johnson

Dianne Marie Johnson received her nursing license in 1972 and recently retired after 44 years of bedside nursing. She worked as an oncology certified nurse in radiation oncology and has extensive experience in coronary care, intensive care and as a “pioneer” nurse in radiology nursing. In 1998 she received her B.A. with double majors in Philosophy and Catholic Studies. In 2006 she received her M. A. in Catholic Studies with emphasis in biomedical ethics from the University of St. Thomas in St Paul, MN. In 2001 she founded Curatio, in part to answer her own longing for integrity between her faith and her work, and in part, to answer Saint John Paul II’s call for re-evangelization of the modern world and to recover the sacred, sacramental vision of the human person in health care. She is married to Reed Johnson and they have three wonderful grown children, 7 grandchildren, and 5 step grandchildren, all who keep her young at heart! She is passionate about helping others develop a closer relationship to Christ in healthcare and currently serves as the Mission Director for Curatio.
