Retina Labs’ mission to help health plans close critical preventive care gaps for their members in-home starts with the people delivering that care on the front lines.

Few embody our mission better than Alexis Hayes, one of our highly trained Retinal Imaging Technologists whose personal connection to diabetes care management and passion for serving her community helps further our health plan clients' quality improvement goals.

Growing up in West Virginia, she saw firsthand how chronic disease progression combined with limited access to care affected families and her surrounding communities.

Alexis’ father, who lived with an advanced stage of diabetes, helped maintain his vision health by staying consistent with his recommended annual eye exams - an exam that Alexis now performs for others in her current role:

“Early detection made all the difference for my dad. Knowing that motivates me every single day on the job to give other families that same chance to preserve their eyesight.”

Alexis continues to play a pivotal role in expanding access to preventive care within rural communities while building the necessary trust that ultimately leads to meaningful, member-centric care delivery experiences.

Through dedicated and compassionate team members like Alexis, Retina Labs continues to drive measurable value for our health plan clients and their members – one in-home preventive care screening visit at a time.

Join us in recognizing Alexis for her mission-driven approach to positively shaping better health outcomes for members within the communities she serves!

Here at Retina Labs, our mission founded on increasing access to convenient preventive care starts with our team of exceptional retinal imaging technologists like Katrina Dashiell.

Katrina brings her unique blend of clinical expertise, empathy, and sincerity to the table of every member's home through each in-home visit she makes. By meeting those members where they are, her work breaks down access to care barriers for those facing transportation or mobility limitations while driving increased awareness around diabetes-related health concerns and helping at-risk individuals detect early signs of vision loss.

"This field of work helps meet the needs of so many individuals living in rural and underserved communities, giving me a direct line of a sight into those elements that can negatively affect long-term health outcomes,” Katrina explains.

We're proud to spotlight Katrina for the professionalism, compassion, and dedication she continues to display out in the field each day as well as the profound impact her role has on helping our health plan clients improve access to care for their members - one in-home visit at a time.

Join us in celebrating Katrina's passion for elevating our in-home preventive care delivery experience and the meaningful moments shared with every member that she meets along the way!

Diabetes currently presents one of the biggest challenges to the US healthcare system, as the estimated costs of managing care for diabetics is projected to reach $400 billion per year.

See how Retina Labs comprehensive approach to managed care helps both health plans and primary care providers improve education opportunities and compliance rates through teleretinal screening for diabetic retinopathy.
