Kinsey Johnson, an advanced practice registered nurse and certified nurse practitioner, is excited to join the Essentia Health St. Mary’s-Detroit Lakes Clinic to practice dermatology.

“I chose to join Essentia Health because of my experience working as a registered nurse in the emergency department at Essentia in Fargo,” explained Johnson. “I truly love the environment, the values and the people I worked with. I am honored to continue my journey here in a field I am deeply passionate about.”

Johnson received her education from South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota. She is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

“I chose dermatology because of a long-standing passion for treating a wide range of skin conditions and a deep interest in skin care,” said Johnson. “My commitment to the field became even more personal when I was diagnosed with melanoma at 26. Being a patient deepened my understanding of the emotional and physical challenges patients face and reinforced my desire to support them with compassion and clinical excellence.”
