Big News for Rutherford County!

Donate blood. Honor courage. Support kids like Kaemey. 🎗️💛

This Childhood Cancer and Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re celebrating brave kids like Kaemey, who is battling leukemia. The 13-year-old has faced many challenges during her treatment journey over the past year, but thanks to her compassionate care team at TriStar Centennial Children's Hospital, she's remained hopeful even during some of her toughest days.

Kaemey recently wrote a letter thanking Morgan, one of our Child Life Specialists, for simply being there.

"I don’t think you realize just how much you mean to me. There’s something about the way you’re there for me—especially during tough moments—that makes everything feel a little more bearable," Kaemey wrote. "You have this incredible calming presence that I’ve come to rely on, especially during procedures or times when I’m anxious. Just knowing you’re there helps me feel grounded and safe. That kind of peace you bring—it’s rare."

We admire Kamey’s courage and remain committed to her care.

Did you know? For some children with leukemia, a blood stem cell transplant is the only potential cure. As part of HCA Healthcare, we’re proud to help meet this critical need through the HCA Healthcare Sarah Cannon Transplant and Cellular Therapy Network. This extensive network is among the largest providers of unrelated bone marrow donor transplants in the U.S., caring for tens of thousands of patients each year.

Your blood stem cells could be Kaemey’s or someone else’s best hope for a cure. Learn more and join the National Marrow Donor Program registry at https://bit.ly/4gIDM1w

In our neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), our caregivers support babies born prematurely or with certain medical conditions. This , we're celebrating our tiniest, most resilient patients and the teams who care for them.

NICU nurses at TriStar Centennial Medical Center gathered to read a letter from a patient's family, filled with gratitude and memories from the earliest days of life. Aubree was born at 24 weeks. During her long stay, Aubree's mother also faced the unimaginable — losing her own mother. In the midst of grief and uncertainty, she found comfort and strength in the nurses who stood by her side.

This is a glimpse into the bonds that last long after a hospital stay ends. From soothing cries, to celebrating milestones, TriStar Health's six NICU teams pour compassion and skill into every touch, every feed and every moment of care.

Each year, our family of hospitals unite to support the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund — a lifeline for our colleagues facing unexpected hardship. Since its inception in 2005, the Hope Fund has supported more than 50,000 families, distributing over $121 million in assistance, all thanks to the generosity of fellow team members.

This week, we reflect on what caring like family really means through fundraising activities and sharing stories of hope like Yvonne Glass's. A music therapist at TriStar Centennial Medical Center, Yvonne turned to her TriStar family and the Hope Fund for help during two separate occasions: when her daughter was diagnosed with cancer and after a house fire. Watch to learn more about Yvonne’s story and how the Hope Fund made a difference.
