Daphné provides patient-centered in-home care, one member at a time

For Daphné, caring for others is more than a job, it’s a calling. As an Advanced Practice Clinician, she travels across Washington, D.C. to visit UnitedHealthcare members in their homes and provide ongoing medical care.

Daphné helps manage chronic conditions, coordinate medications, schedule preventive care services, and she serves as a bridge between members and their primary care providers or specialists. These connections often mean being available when a member can’t reach their provider by assessing health issues in person, advocating for timely care and making sure no detail is missed.

“I get to see a lot more in someone’s home than I ever would in an office,” she says. “You can really understand the barriers they face and help them in a way that fits their life.”

Her ongoing care for UnitedHealthcare member Angela embodies that approach. Daphné began caring for Angela after a hospital stay and has been her clinician for more than six years. Early on, when Angela needed specialty appointments, testing and hands-on coordination, Daphné helped support those needs and has become a trusted health care partner.

“I tell Angela to call me if she can’t reach her doctor,” Daphné says. “I can come to her home, assess her, and decide the next steps based on what I see and know about her.”

To help provide consistent, high-quality home care, Daphné has access to ongoing training, clinical education updates, complex-care meetings and accessible leadership. She also partners with service providers and case managers to arrange home health services and ensure patients get the support they need.

What keeps her motivated is seeing UnitedHealthcare members’ progress. “She inspires me every day,” Daphné says of Angela. “Watching someone advocate for themselves and take leaps forward — it’s incredibly rewarding.”

Daphné describes her role as the bridge to a person’s health care. By bringing clinical expertise into people’s homes, collaborating closely with care teams and leading with empathy, she helps UnitedHealthcare members stay healthy and connected to care.
