Certified Health Coach

Title: Certified Health Coach

Location: Dallas, TX - Onsite

The Certified Health Coach (we call this a Care Guide) exists to restore trust, clarity, and continuity in healthcare by giving members a real relationship with someone who has their back. Initially, the role will support adults with high blood pressure through one‑to‑one, primarily asynchronous communication (secure messaging / care platform), supplemented by periodic telephonic outreach. The coach helps patients understand their condition, follow treatment plans, and build sustainable lifestyle habits that improve blood pressure control and overall cardiovascular health, in partnership with a Care Pod team (which currently includes a Care Guide and Nurse Practitioner).

This role blends the best of customer relationship management, concierge service, care navigation, and coaching into a single, high trust relationship. The Care Guide is accountable for the ongoing experience of the patient, not just isolated tasks or transactions.

• This is not a traditional care coordinator role.
• This is not utilization management.
• This is not call center support.

This is a concierge level, relationship driven role modeled after the best relationship roles in hospitality, travel, and premium customer service. Roles where patients return and follow through on their care plan not because a transaction was completed, but because someone remembered them, followed through, and anticipated what came next.

The Care Guide is often the first and most frequent point of contact. You make healthcare feel navigable, personal, and steady. You absorb complexity so members do not have to. You help people stay engaged in care even when the system would otherwise lose them.

The work is simple to describe and difficult to do well. Be present. Be reliable. Be thoughtful. Be human.

Patient Relationship Management:

• Serve as the designated point of contact for an assigned panel of patients, maintaining consistent outreach and follow-through.
• Conduct proactive check-ins to assess patient understanding, progress, and barriers to adherence.
• Apply motivational interviewing and coaching techniques to encourage sustainable behavior change and engagement in care.
• Maintain complete, timely, and accurate documentation of all patient encounters and communications.

Care Coordination and Support:

• Partner closely with Care Pod team which includes nurse practitioners, clinicians, and care team members to reinforce care plans and follow-up instructions.
• Assist patients with scheduling appointments, obtaining referrals, arranging diagnostic testing, and coordinating specialty care.
• Identify social, financial, or access barriers impacting care and coordinate appropriate resources or referrals.
• Escalate clinical concerns or complex patient needs to licensed providers promptly and appropriately.

Service Delivery and Communication:

• Deliver exceptional “concierge-level” service characterized by empathy, responsiveness, and proactive problem-solving.
• Communicate with patients via phone, text, and electronic platforms using clear, sensitive, and patient-centered language.
• Translate medical terminology and clinical plans into understandable next steps for patients.
• Meet defined service and quality metrics, such as timely responses, documentation compliance, and patient satisfaction benchmarks.

Technology and Workflow Management:

• Use EHR, Zendesk and digital communication tools to manage patient interactions, tasks, reminders, and communication threads.
• Apply AI-supported tools to summarize interactions, plan follow-ups, and anticipate patient needs.
• Maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA and organizational privacy policies.

Required:

• Certification as a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBHWC) or Certified Diabetes Care or Education Specialist (CDCES) or similar certification.
• Proven experience applying motivational interviewing or health coaching techniques to support patient behavior change, required.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort with asynchronous communication (text, secure messaging).
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple patient relationships and workflows with strong organization and follow-through.
• High emotional intelligence, empathy, and professional judgment when responding to patient needs.
• Proficiency with computer systems and digital communication tools.

Preferred:

• Certified or Registered Medical Assistant (CMA/RMA) with current credential in good standing, highly preferred.
• Experience in hypertension or cardiometabolic coaching, remote patient monitoring, or chronic disease management, strongly preferred.
