Join us in welcoming the HOSA students from Creek Wood and Dickson County High Schools to the TriStar Horizon family!

We’re proud to partner with Dickson County Schools to serve as a clinical rotation site for these aspiring healthcare professionals. This group spent the morning in orientation and touring our facility, getting a firsthand look at the world of patient care.

Our community is fortunate to have programs that invest in training the next generation of healthcare providers—and we’re honored to be part of their journey.

As the sun sets on September 10, 2025, we reflect on how much our lives would change 24 years ago tomorrow.

TriStar Horizon Medical Center will pause for a moment of reflection and remembrance to honor the 2,977 people who perished in New York City, Washington, DC, and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

We continue to be in awe of the courage of our first responders and everyday citizens who acted with extraordinary bravery. Our hearts are with all who were - and still are - impacted by the events of that day.

May we never forget.

What is Afib?

Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is a common heart condition characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation is a manageable condition with proper diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle adjustments. Early detection and proactive management can significantly improve outcomes and quality of life for those affected.

September is Afib Awareness Month; we invite you to take a moment to learn more from Jennifer Law, Cardiology Nurse Practitioner with Centennial Heart at Horizon.

What is Atrial Fibrillation?
1. Afib is a type of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) that can lead to stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.

2. Common causes include high blood pressure, heart valve disease, coronary artery disease, and other heart conditions. Lifestyle factors such as obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress can also contribute.

3. Many people with Afib experience symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, or chest pain. However, some may be asymptomatic.

Risk Factors
1. Age - The risk of developing Afib increases with age, particularly in individuals over 65.

2. Other Health Conditions - Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid problems can increase the risk of Afib.

3. Family History - A family history of Afib can also elevate a person's risk.

Diagnosis
1. Electrocardiogram (EKG) - The primary tool used to diagnose Afib is an ECG, which records the electrical activity of the heart.

2. Heart Monitor - This portable ECG device can monitor the heart’s rhythm over 24-48 hours to detect intermittent Afib.

3. Echocardiogram - This ultrasound test helps in assessing heart structure and function, which can provide insights into the underlying causes of Afib.

Treatment Options
1. Medications - Anticoagulants (blood thinners) are often prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke. Rate or rhythm control medications may also be used to manage heart rate and restore normal rhythm.

2. Lifestyle Changes - Weight management, regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and limiting alcohol and caffeine can help manage Afib symptoms.

3. Procedures - In some cases, procedures like electrical cardioversion, catheter ablation, or surgery may be necessary to restore normal heart rhythm.

Today, our colleagues are proudly wearing teal to support the fight against ovarian cancer, the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers.

In 2025, an estimated 20,890 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. More than 12,700 are expected to lose their lives to the disease. Often called the “silent killer,” ovarian cancer is difficult to detect early. With no reliable screening test and symptoms that are often mistaken for common conditions—such as bloating, pelvic pain, and urinary changes—approximately 80% of cases are diagnosed in advanced stages.

Join us in wearing teal today to raise awareness, spark lifesaving conversations, and show support for survivors and their loved ones!

If you are seeking supportive care, we're proud to offer comprehensive gynecologic cancer services as part of the HCA Healthcare Sarah Cannon Cancer Network. Learn more: https://bit.ly/47wIzAI.

Today is Wear Teal Day.

Why is this so important?

In 2025 alone, an estimated 20,890 people will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and over 12,700 are expected to lose their lives to the disease. The challenge lies in its silent progression. Because its symptoms are vague and there is no reliable screening test, about 80% of individuals are diagnosed only in advanced stages, when the cancer is most difficult to treat.

Our Sarah Cannon Cancer Network colleagues are wearing teal today to:

• Raise awareness of critical symptoms like bloating, pelvic pain, and urinary changes.
• Honor everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
• Advocate for increased funding for research and support.

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers. Wearing teal raises awareness, sparks life-saving conversations, and shows support for survivors and their loved ones.

TriStar Horizon is proud to offer a designated place to provide care for cancer close to home. The Sarah Cannon Cancer Network located on our Natchez campus offers comprehensive diagnostic, treatment, and recovery services to help you from diagnosis through survivorship.

09/03/2025

Through the generosity of the HCA Foundation, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee has established The Shanta Hinson Nursing Memorial Fund in loving memory of Shanta Hinson, a beloved nurse, mentor, and leader at Tristar Horizon Medical Center. This fund will support a future scholarship program for residents of Dickson County who aspire to pursue a career in nursing—continuing Shanta’s legacy of mentorship to the next generation of nurses.

Shanta dedicated over 35 years to Tristar Horizon, beginning as a nursing tech and rising through the ranks to become Director of the Medical Surgical Unit. Her leadership was marked by excellence.

Beyond the metrics, Shanta was known as “The Director with the Heart.” Her compassion for patients and staff, her humility, and her gift for mentoring nurses into leadership roles made her a pillar of the hospital community.

She championed new graduate nurses, creating support programs for night and weekend shifts, and served as a BLS faculty member—training over 20 instructors and helping the hospital become a certified training site. Her professional affiliations included the American Nurses Association, the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, and the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses.

Outside the hospital, Shanta was a vibrant force in her community. She taught children’s camps at her church, spoke at the Lion’s Club and Women’s Club, and served as a passionate advocate for breast cancer awareness—sharing her own journey to encourage others to get screened.

Though Shanta lost her battle with breast cancer, her spirit continues to inspire all who knew her. And her passion for nursing will be felt for generations to come.

It's a day he'll never forget!

As a 10-year-old, Colin’s dream for the future was directly inspired by Dalton, an ER nurse at TriStar Horizon Medical Center, and a passion for aviation.

Their special bond began last fall, when Colin was a patient in the ER at TriStar Horizon and needed to be airlifted to TriStar Centennial Children's Hospital. With his mother unable to accompany him on the flight, nurse Dalton stayed by Colin's side until the helicopter took off and kept his mom updated as she made her way to our Children's Hospital.

Colin recovered, but he never stopped talking about nurse Dalton or his dream about becoming a pilot. Almost one year later, the TriStar Horizon team surprised Colin with a special visit from TriStar SkyLife. Colin was able to live out his dream and was even gifted his very own replica of a SkyLife flight suit.

“Dalton gave him security, hope and someone to admire,” Colin’s mother said. “What your team did that night didn’t just save Colin’s life—it changed it.”

We're proud to honor our resilient patients and the extraordinary teams who go above and beyond to care for them.💙

At just 22 years old, Alyson Ziegler experienced the unthinkable: severe heart and lung failure.

But thanks to collaboration between our multiple care teams in multiple locations, today we celebrate her courageous journey and the lifesaving power of the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation program at TriStar Centennial Medical Center.

This program allows our specialized teams at TriStar Centennial to take extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment, also known as ECMO, outside of its hospital walls to serve critical patients at our affiliated sites of care. In this case, Alyson, who arrived at TriStar NorthCrest Medical Center in Springfield for immediate care.

08/22/2025

We're excited to share that our Heart Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) program at TriStar Centennial Medical Center has earned a prestigious three-star rating from the STS/ACC TVT Registry — the highest score possible from one of the most respected organizations tracking TAVR procedures across the U.S. This rating places us among the top-performing TAVR centers in the country, with fewer than 10% of programs nationwide achieving this distinction.

The three-star rating reflects superior performance in key areas such as reduced complication rates, shorter hospital stays, and improved patient recovery. It’s not based on opinion, but on rigorous data analysis comparing our outcomes to hundreds of other programs. This recognition speaks to our commitment to Raising the Bar — delivering the safest and most advanced patient care possible, grounded in our unwavering belief in doing what’s right for our patients.

This achievement is a direct reflection of our incredible cardiac care teams — from evaluation through procedure, recovery, and follow-up — who prove every day that excellent people make excellence happen. Thank you for your dedication to delivering exceptional, high-quality care every step of the way. Congratulations, team!

Every tee, every heartbeat — a second chance is a gift.

During a round of golf, 61-year-old Anthony Holt collapsed on the course from a sudden cardiac arrest. Two bystanders — brothers Zach and Gabe — didn't hesitate. They ran to his side and began CPR, never stopping for more than 20 minutes until help arrived. Nashville Fire Department #11 continued resuscitating Anthony, defibrillating him until his pulse returned. Anthony was transported to TriStar Centennial Medical Center and admitted to the Cardiogenic Shock team.

"Being out for 25 minutes and then them bringing me back to life, getting me to the hospital, and to the hospital team. All of a sudden, taking over. From emergency responders to the hospital — I can tell you that I have been blessed immensely by the people who have touched me in this hospital," Anthony said. "I just want to personally thank you all for the love that you gave myself, that you gave my family, and that you gave my friends."

This month, his doctors, family, and friends gathered at our hospital's cardiac floor to celebrate his amazing outcome, and full heart recovery. Anthony personally thanked the hospital team, NFD, and honored Zach and Gabe with golfing trophies — a heartfelt reminder of the day they helped save his life.

The doctors inside the Heart and Vascular Center at TriStar Centennial are prepared for it all. Our dedicated Cardiogenic Shock team includes specialists from interventional cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, advanced heart failure, critical care, and emergency medicine. We personalize your care to accommodate the needs of both you and your family and stay on the leading edge when it comes to modern equipment and technology. That way, you can receive the thorough cardiovascular care you deserve when you need it the most.
