Background

About Arika Barrows

As a dedicated Care Coordinator specializing in kidney disease management, I am passionate about providing compassionate, patient-centered care. My journey in healthcare began as a Medical Assistant in endocrinology, where I developed a strong foundation in patient care and clinical operations. This background has been instrumental in my current role, where I guide patients through complex care pathways with empathy and expertise. In addition to my care coordination responsibilities, I serve as a preceptor for all new care coordinators on my team. I take pride in mentoring and onboarding new team members, ensuring they have the support and knowledge needed to excel in their roles. My commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment led me to take charge of our team's diversity and belonging initiatives, where I work to create a culture where everyone feels valued and respected. I have also had the privilege of leading projects focused on enhancing workflow efficiency and improving soft skills communication across our team. These initiatives have not only improved team performance but have also strengthened our ability to deliver high-quality care to our patients.
