Behind every healthcare statistic is a human story—a life touched, changed, or saved through compassionate, proactive care. At CareATC, we believe healthcare is more than treatment; it’s about creating meaningful connections that transform lives. As we reflect on 2024, we're honored to share some remarkable stories that showcase the compassion, expertise, and dedication of our healthcare teams.
Protecting a Mother’s Heart
In our Texas Shared Sites, Dr. Shadi Edalati and Sarah Perales provided exceptional care for a 35-year-old mother of two. What started as a routine visit for mildly elevated LDL cholesterol turned into a life-saving intervention when they discovered her history of a heart attack. Recognizing the urgent risk, they quickly prescribed essential medications and established a close monitoring plan. Their proactive, evidence-based care may have prevented another heart attack, ensuring this mother can continue caring for her family.
A Life-Saving Connection
At our Columbus clinic, Jacqueline Baxter, Medical Assistant, shared an unforgettable story of hope and healing. A long-time patient, Mr. Tometo, stopped by to see Colette Greer-Daniel, DNP, FNP-BC, during a visit to the area. Their connection runs deep—years earlier, Colette’s clinical expertise led to the early detection of Mr. Tometo’s life-threatening cancer. Mr. Tometo expressed his heartfelt gratitude, crediting Colette with saving his life. This powerful moment reminds us that is is why we are here.
The Courage to Change
Mental Health Professional Holly Agathen played a pivotal role in helping a patient begin his sobriety journey after 30 years of heavy alcohol use. Seeking treatment for the first time, the patient took a courageous first step. Holly’s compassionate guidance ensured he received the support and care he needed, including a seamless connection to a local detox and residential program. Holly later received a thoughtful thank-you note from the Clinical Outreach Representative, acknowledging the teamwork and positive impact of our clinic.
These stories are why we do what we do—they are moments that matter. Our team takes pride in building relationships, catching the subtle signs that others might miss, and supporting patients through their most challenging moments. We're honored to be part of these journeys, one patient at a time.
