Dianne H. Timmering, MFA, MBA, CNA is an author, healthcare leader, and entrepreneur.
As Co-Founder of Spirituality and Vice President of Legislative and Government Affairs for Signature HealthCARE, the 7th largest Skilled Nursing Facility provider in the nation based in Louisville, KY, she co-founded (along with Signature CEO Joe Steier), created and led one of the largest for-profit, multi-faith Departments of Spirituality in the nation.
