Saint John of God, born João Duarte Cidade, was a Portuguese soldier turned healthcare worker in Spain, known for his profound conversion and dedication to the sick and poor. Initially leading a life of sin, he experienced a dramatic change after hearing a sermon by John of Ávila, leading him to establish a hospital in Granada that would care for the poor, sick, and mentally ill. His work laid the foundation for the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God, an order still active today. His life was marked by acts of charity, humility, and self-sacrifice, culminating in his death while saving a drowning man. | Saint John of God, born João Duarte Cidade, was a Portuguese soldier turned healthcare worker in Spain, known for his profound conversion and dedication to the sick and poor.
