Joan Johnson

As a Chaplain, Joan offers emotional and spiritual support to the residents and staff. She meets one-on-one with residents and facilitates groups throughout the week. Joan retired from teaching in Chicago elementary public schools at the start of the pandemic. This overlapped with the completion of her Chaplaincy education at Loyola University.

She served her residency at Advocate Healthcare during the pandemic. She has experienced the challenges of a changing healthcare system over the years and believes science and art work together to build connections that help create a new, whole life.
