Cate Marinaro, R.N.

Cate Marinaro has more than 30 years of experience in healthcare and oversees an interdisciplinary team treating individuals with psychiatric and medical illnesses. The goal of the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program is to help clients learn/improve independent living skills, reduce recidivism, and increase overall life satisfaction. Marinaro earned her associate degree in science/nursing from Rock Valley College and joined Rosecrance in 2023. She previously worked in an emergency department, a residential and inpatient setting at a psychiatric hospital, and a home for children with developmental disabilities. Her treatment philosophy focuses on getting to know her clients, sharing a laugh, and supporting them to achieve improved health through medication management and education. When she isn’t at work, Marinaro enjoys being a grandmother to seven grandchildren, spending time with her two cats, and walking outside with her favorite song playing while taking photos of the beauty around her.
