Francisco Romo is our Care Advocate Manager from El Paso, TX who manages daily operations, improves processes, and works cross-functionally to ensure operations aligns with company goals.

Frank served in the U.S. Army for 6 years and has close ties to our Veterans and Hispanic and Indigenous People ERGs. “These ERGs mean a lot to me because they offer spaces for connection, support, and advocacy on issues that matter to me.”

Frank witnessed the complexities of our healthcare system at a very early age. His grandmother battled with chronic conditions and struggled to manage several expensive medications. Frank decided to work in healthcare because he believed that's where he could make a difference. “It was hard seeing my grandmother struggling and trying to understand her medical needs. That's when I decided I wanted to make a positive impact on others by helping people and solving problems”.

One moment that really stood out to Frank was when a member couldn’t make it to her primary care appointment due to lack of transportation. Though she had coverage, the third-party vendor couldn’t provide a driver. Frank immediately coordinated with the company to arrange a driver who took her to her appointment and brought her home. What sounded like a small gesture meant the world to her, and it reminded Frank of how much of a difference we can make in people’s lives when they need it most.

“To me, healthcare is about making a meaningful impact by helping others navigate and improve the complexities of our nation’s health care system. It’s about driving positive change and making a real difference in the lives of those we serve”.

Patience Jackson (she/her), a Senior Director of Care Navigation & Virtual Primary Care from Houston, TX, leads efforts to improve and expand services, streamline processes, scale operations, and improve patient care.

Accolade’s BOLD (Black Originators, Leaders & Doers) ERG holds deep meaning for Patience. “It represents more than just a group, it's a supportive community grounded in shared identity, purpose, and empowerment. It reflects my passion for creating pathways that uplift others and builds a culture where everyone can thrive together.”

Patience’s passion for helping others stems from her father’s battle with cancer. Her dad’s journey was one of resilience and courage. Every day was a delicate balance of managing symptoms, making treatment decisions, and holding space for the emotional weight of it all. There were moments of hope, exhaustion, and when she had to fight for him to receive the care he deserved.

“Even in the most challenging moments of his illness, he remained a source of strength for me, just as I was for him. Being his caregiver was one of the hardest yet most meaningful roles I’ve ever had. It was an honor to walk alongside him in his journey, ensuring he felt supported, respected, and cared for every step of the way.”

Her dad’s cancer journey gave her an intimate understanding of what it feels like to be on the other side of healthcare: the fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming amount of information families must process. That experience shaped how she leads today. She makes her team’s roles as easy as possible so they can focus on what matters most, ensuring our members feel heard, valued, and cared for.

“It’s personal for me. As a Black woman, healthcare is deeply personal. It’s about advocacy, representation, and ensuring that care is equitable and accessible to all. I’ve witnessed firsthand the disparities that exist in our healthcare system, and I am committed to breaking down those barriers. Advocacy is woven into who I am, and it’s an honor to bring that dedication to every person we care for.”

Patience shares this advice for caregivers: “Give yourself grace. Caregiving is one of the most selfless and emotionally taxing roles you can take on. You will have moments where you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure if you’re doing enough, but remember that your presence, your love, and your advocacy make all the difference.”
