Author Archives: Diane Atwood, Health contributor

Diane Atwood has been sharing stories about health and wellness for more than 30 years, first as a reporter on WCSH6 and then as the marketing and public relations manager for Northern Light Mercy Hospital. She remains committed to health reporting that makes a difference and does so through her award-winning Catching Health blog and podcast. Before COVID struck, she was traveling throughout Maine interviewing people 60 and above about their lives and perspectives on aging. Inspired by their enthusiasm about sharing their stories, and realizing that many people were interested in documenting their lives with an audio or video record for their families, in 2021, she launched a new business called Catching Your Memories. Diane lives in Gorham with her husband Barry.
