Today, we're proud to shine a spotlight on Rob Fabin, a respected and long-serving RN in our Surgery Department whose dedication spans more than 20 years at TriState Health.

Rob is known for his calm, steady presence in the OR, his deep clinical expertise, and his unwavering commitment to patients and colleagues alike. He has spent nearly his entire RN career at TriState Health in surgery, except for an 8-month period in our Maintenance Department during his recovery from a major burn injury. Even during a challenging time, Rob remained committed to TriState, taking on a new role while healing and preparing to return to patient care.

Every day, Rob ensures our operating rooms are fully prepared, from surgical equipment to sterile setup, helping create a smooth and safe experience for both our surgical team and our patients. He thrives in the ever-evolving world of surgery, constantly learning and embracing new standards.

"I truly enjoy being part of a team that makes a difference in a patient's life," Rob shared. "It always gives me a good feeling knowing that I helped a patient who needed a surgical solution to whatever problem they were facing."

Rob describes his team as "top notch"; a group that works hard, supports one another, and truly puts patients first. It's this teamwork and close-knit culture that has kept him at TriState Health for two decades.

His supervisor said, "Rob has been an integral part of TriState's Surgical Department for the last 19 years. He is dedicated to his job and possesses a wealth of knowledge regarding surgical procedures, processes, and patient care. Rob is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. We deeply appreciate his commitment not only to TriState Health, but to our entire community."

Outside of work, Rob is a proud husband and father who embraces every outdoor adventure life has to offer with his wife, Tabitha, and their two children. From camping, rafting, and hunting to horse packing, dirt biking, and cheering on youth sports, the Fabin family is always on the move — living life to the fullest.

"Life has always been a journey — and definitely an adventure — I will carry that mindset with me every day, and into the future." - Rob Fabin

Rob, thank you for your incredible dedication, your resilience, and your passion for caring for others. You make a lasting impact every day, and we’re honored to have you as part of the TriState Family.
