About
A career in medicine was always something Sunny “Marie” Johnson, NP, wanted to pursue. When her husband was diagnosed with brain cancer she decided on the path of nursing. “The nurses and NPs that helped to care for my husband were amazing and left a lasting impression on me,” Marie says.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing as well as her Master of Science in Nursing/Family Nurse Practitioner Track at Goshen College, Goshen, IN. Marie has hospital experience in oncology care and general medical care. The field of urology interested her because she had a close family member who dealt with kidney stones for more than 25 years. In addition, Marie researched prostate cancer during her master’s program work.
In her role, Marie examines and diagnoses patients and provides education on what it all means, and then follows them through their treatment plan. She hopes her patients learn that with proactive care, they can lead better lives.
“The more you can help a patient understand their diagnosis, the higher likelihood they will be compliant to their treatment plan,” Marie says.
In her own words…
Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life?
My mother had a hard life, but when she became a mother, she made her children her priority, despite what happened to her earlier in life. I wouldn’t be who I am today without her.
What was your first job growing up?
Burger King at age 16.
What is your favorite food? Movie? Favorite food is hands down, sushi! I am married and have two sons, so I’m obligated to love Star Wars and superhero movies.
What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up? I excelled at most subjects, but my favorite was science, I especially enjoyed biochemistry and genetics.
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? My faith and family.
What are your hobbies, interests? When time allows, I love to travel, organize, cook/bake, scrapbook, take photographs, watch movies, spend time with my family and friends, go to different restaurants, and decorate my home.
Do you have pets? I have two beloved dogs: Lola, the Brittany spaniel, and Wilma, the mini poodle-mix
What is something most people don’t know about you? I am a perfectionist in most aspects of my life.
