In the know.

In the Bible, Angels are seen in the roles of messengers, warriors, and protectors. It’s no wonder that Angel Johnson-Branch’s parents gave her this name. Angel serves as the Director of Home Health at PineCrest, a role that allows her angelic qualities to shine.

It wouldn’t take long in Angel’s presence before you would see that she emulates each of these traits as it pertains to her role as a nurse, therefore living up to her name. Often nurses are required to deliver difficult messages to families, something she does with a heart of authenticity, compassion, and gentleness. Her calm demeanor, despite the circumstances, adds a sense of peace for both the residents and staff at PineCrest.

She also takes on the traits of a warrior, displaying impressive strength, highly sharpened skills, and an unstoppable spirit. “She is the kind of person you would want to follow into battle, because you can always be sure she is prayed up. And that’s the kind of nurse she is too, focused and fighting for what is best for the resident,” shared Victoria Hutto, PineCrest’s Marketing Director.

An equally admirable quality is her protective instincts. It is common to see Angel making the rounds at PineCrest, checking on residents, giving extra time to those who need it,  while tuning in to the unspoken needs that only an exceptionally skilled nurse may perceive.  She is especially protective of the quality of life for those she serves.

Angel joined the PineCrest team in 2006 where she has loved and ministered to hundreds of elders and their families. In some cases she has even served multiple generations.

As Angel turns the corner towards her 20th anniversary of employment, it is truly an honor to say that we have an Angel among us.
