Don Johnson’s path to his position at Brentwood Hospice as the Spiritual Care Coordinator has been an eclectic one. After beginning his training for the Priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church, he switched directions. He became a Methodist Minister, pastoring five different United Methodist Churches. Though he loved being a pastor, Don felt a call to work in an area that was more intimate. In addition to working the streets of Dallas’ inner city, he also started working with the terminally ill. Today, Don works to provide pastoral care to those dealing with imminently terminal illnesses. If you would like to contact Don or Brentwood hospice, call 877-388-2304 or visit www.brentwoodhospice.com.
Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, Vicka Brown was destined to work with Seniors from an early age. Her mother worked in healthcare with Seniors, and Vicka worked along side her as a youth. In 1998, Vicka moved to Atlanta, and found a job with Cypress Health Group, a premier post-acute care and senior housing management company. Though she went on hiatus twice, she kept coming back to Cypress. Though she has held a number of positions during her tenure with Cypress, today she is the Director of Public Relations at Woodstock Nursing & Rehabilitation, and adores her job.
