From enduring years of painful kidney stones to facing surgery with confidence, George’s experience at TriState Health is a powerful reminder of what truly exceptional care looks like. Traveling over 75 miles for treatment, he found more than great clinical care; he found compassion, respect, and a team that listens.

From a comforting ER arrival to a smooth surgery and follow-up where his care team took the time to explain his condition, George felt supported every step of the way.

Our employees are healthcare professionals, but they are also your neighbors, coaches, volunteers, and friends. Their dedication to the community exists outside of their shifts at TriState Health, as they invest their time, energy, and talent back into the community where we all live and work. These are the people who bring our mission to life every single day.
