Our Marketing & Communications team had a blast hosting 36 Clarkston High School students on campus this past Friday! TriState Health regularly partners with CHS for Scrubs Camps and other clinical healthcare events, but this visit brought something new and exciting. Instead of focusing solely on clinical pathways, we had the chance to show students how Marketing plays a crucial role in supporting healthcare, especially within the unique environment of a small rural hospital.

From future nurses and engineers to marketing pros, these bright minds from the Career & Technical Education class got a front-row seat to the diverse career paths available right here at TriState Health. Our very own Caroline Greer shared our history and the “why” behind our work. We love seeing the next generation explore their professional potential!

We were absolutely honored to attend the Lili Cancer Foundation “Let Me Teal You About It” Luncheon as the Platinum Sponsor! This impactful event truly captured the wrap around support that the foundation provides to the families it serves.

TriState Health's sponsorship of the Food Pantry has powered the renovation of a dedicated space where nutritious meals are prepared for countless families every single week. By also absorbing key operational expenses, we are helping the foundation maximize its reach and deepen its impact.

Local partnerships like this are essential to ensuring that families receive life-changing support. We are proud to support the Lili Cancer Foundation as they continue to deliver Hope. Health. & Healing to those impacted by women's cancer.

February is Heart Health Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of caring for the organ that keeps us going every day. ❤️

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., but small steps can make a big difference — staying active, eating balanced meals, managing stress, and keeping up with regular checkups all support a healthier heart.

Earlier this month, our team at TriState Health proudly wore red for National Wear Red Day. We’re honored to stand together in support of heart health awareness and to care for our community every day.

Charity Goodell has been a valued member of the TriState Health team for nearly seven years, serving in Human Resources and currently as our Benefits Administrator. During her time at TriState, Charity has worn many hats within HR, beginning as an HR Generalist in 2016, transitioning to Employment Coordinator in 2018, taking on the Training & Development Coordinator role in 2022, and moving into her current position in 2023. Her well-rounded experience and deep understanding of HR operations have made her an incredible asset to both the department and the organization.

In her role, Charity manages TriState Health’s employee benefits program, ensuring regulatory compliance, coordinating with insurance carriers and plan administrators, and guiding employees through benefit enrollments and changes. From onboarding new employees to answering benefit questions, advocating on behalf of staff, and assisting employees and families during times of transition, Charity supports employees throughout every stage of their journey at TriState. She says the best part of her job is the employees and their families, and it shows in the care and dedication she brings to her work each day.

"TriState offers competitive wages and a great benefit package. These are a couple of the reasons I choose to work here," said Charity. "I also feel that I am a valued team member, which makes me feel appreciated." She describes her coworkers as professional, organized, and supportive. "We encourage and offer support to each other. It is nice to know we are not on an island!"

The Chief of Human Resources shared, “Charity consistently goes above and beyond for employees, bringing a positive attitude and steady approach to everything she does. Over the past few years, she has made meaningful improvements to the benefits administration role, and her commitment to employee well-being does not go unnoticed. TriState Health is fortunate to have someone who cares so deeply about the people behind the organization.”

Outside of work, Charity enjoys spending time with family and friends. She and her husband also love playing music with their band, Drummers Injurying Guitars (D.I.G.), and attending live music events. Charity also has a special connection to TriState Health—her grandparents, Wayne and Helen Bartlett, were among the original supporters, making her role here even more meaningful.

Thank you, Charity, for your dedication, heart, and the countless ways you support the TriState family in your role every day.
