Champions of Care: Sameer Mistry
How can a simple follow-up call transform patient care? For Dr. Samir Mistry, an emergency medicine physician at Providence Little Company of Mary in San Pedro, Calif., the answer is clear. After three decades in practice, Mistry introduced a policy for his team to call patients the day after their emergency visit — and the impact has been remarkable. Patients appreciate the extra care, gain clarity on lingering questions and receive timely guidance if symptoms persist. For physicians, these calls not only improve outcomes but also bring joy and fulfillment, knowing they’ve made a difference beyond the hospital walls.
