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.

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.💙

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.
