We’re pleased to welcome Hannah Johnston, RN, to the Cheer Home Health Care team as our newest Care Case Manager and Nursing Supervisor. She brings clinical expertise, community compassion, and dedication to every client she serves!
From a young age, Hannah was fascinated by medicine and inspired to help others. That passion guided her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from California Baptist University. Her nursing journey began in public health with the County of San Diego, where she supported the early rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, working with clinics, hospitals, and local health teams to ensure safe and effective distribution. She later gained valuable hospital experience in medical-surgical care at Paradise Valley Hospital before joining Scripps Mercy Hospital in oncology, caring for patients through complex treatments and end-of-life transitions.
At Cheer, Hannah wears two hats, supporting both home care and home health teams. As a Care Case Manager, she helps oversee client cases holistically, coordinating with healthcare partners, ensuring safety and quality, and providing mentorship to field nurses. She’s also involved in onboarding and supporting new nurses, helping them feel confident and aligned with Cheer’s high standards of compassionate care. Her background in oncology and hospice care has given her a perspective on the importance of client and family education, helping fill the knowledge gaps that often exist during difficult times. She’s passionate about empowering San Diego families with the tools and understanding they need to support their loved ones.
Since joining Cheer, Hannah has seen firsthand the power of networking, not only as a professional tool but as a way to improve the resources available to clients. As a natural people person, she thrives on building connections within the local care community and believes that strong relationships create better outcomes for all!
A San Diego native, Hannah enjoys the outdoors, from Pilates and yoga to hiking and coastal walks. She also maintains an indoor plant collection reflecting her nurturing spirit. Looking ahead, she is eager to enhance her leadership skills at Cheer, continue learning from mentors like Michelle, Kelsi, and Barry, and contribute to developing practical materials for clients and families.
We’re so grateful to have Hannah on the team. Welcome to the Cheer family!
