Making an impact in a clinical role
At UnitedHealth Group, we celebrate the remarkable journeys of clinical employees like James, Eileen, and Andi, who exemplify the profound impact that dedicated health care professionals can have on patient care and the broader community.
James: A champion of health, community, and patient care
Meet James, a Preservice Review Nurse at Optum, whose dedication to health care goes far beyond the confines of a clinic. James doesn't merely treat patients; he embraces a comprehensive approach to health by engaging with his community and effecting positive change. Reflecting on his journey, James shares, "As a nurse, I have been able to make a significant difference in my community through various means."
From his early days as a local government official, James has always seen nursing as a calling and an opportunity to give back. He actively participated in health education initiatives, vaccination campaigns and emergency response efforts, effectively reducing the burden of disease and promoting public health. James's experience during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the unwavering dedication of clinical employees, as he provided care and support during a time of crisis. He believes that being a nurse is more than a profession; it's a way to fulfill a personal goal of making a positive difference in the lives of others.
James's story is a testament to the transformative power of clinical roles. It demonstrates that the impact of a health care professional extends beyond the hospital walls, reaching into the heart of the community and leaving a legacy of improved well-being.

Eileen, a Case Manager for Optum Care, embodies the spirit of compassionate health care, enriching the lives of patients through unwavering support and high-quality care. Eileen's journey began as a Philippine registered nurse, and through her tenure with Optum, she has evolved into a US registered nurse and a dedicated case manager. For Eileen, nursing isn't just a job; it's an opportunity to advocate for health and ensure the best possible care for patients.
"I have experienced new career opportunities and learned new things," Eileen shares. Her role as a case manager extends beyond medical care, forging deep connections with patients and their families. Eileen emphasizes, "Touching other people’s lives and doing the best we can for them is the most satisfying thing for me." The sense of fulfillment Eileen derives from her role highlights the profound emotional rewards that clinical employees often experience.
