Diane Atwood
Freelance Writer and Blogger
For more than 20 years I was the health reporter on WCSH6. I left the world of reporting in 2002 to manage marketing and public relations for Mercy Hospital. Two years ago I decided to embark on yet another career and became a freelance writer. Among other things, I write a health and wellness blog called Catching Health and another blog called Diane and Beverly, which is about my mother and me and our Alzheimer's journey.
