When it matters most, our Women’s Services team shows up — together.

In just two weeks, our team helped welcome nearly 60 babies — one of the highest 14-day totals our TriStar Summit Medical Center colleagues have seen in recent memory.

That kind of volume takes more than busy days. It takes:

-- Skilled nurses and providers working in sync

-- Strong coordination across labor and delivery, postpartum and the newborn care team

-- A shared focus on safe, compassionate care for every family, every time

To our Women’s Services team: thank you for the expertise, teamwork and heart you bring to every delivery — and for helping more families begin their next chapter close to home.

Some people find their calling later in life. For others, it finds them early — long before they even know its name.

For our Cardiovascular Director, Karen, that moment came when she was just five years old.

It was a day her family will never forget: the joyful arrival of her baby brother and, just hours later, the frightening news that her grandfather — a beloved pediatric doctor in the local community — had suffered a cardiac event. What she remembers most from that day isn’t the fear or the confusion, but the kindness.

She recalls watching the nurses move with calm confidence, caring for her grandfather and comforting her family with a level of compassion that left a lifelong impression. Even at five, she recognized something powerful in their work - the way that caregivers make patients feel.

That moment planted a seed.

Years later, it grew into a purpose — guiding her into cardiovascular services, where she could care for patients and families just as those nurses cared for hers.

Today, she leads our cath lab and cardiovascular programs, ensuring our community has access to exceptional heart care, advanced technology, and a team dedicated to saving lives. She advocates for patients, supports her staff, and never forgets the small acts of kindness that shaped her path.

Her story reminds us that heart care is more than medicine — it is a calling and purpose.

💙 We’re grateful for her leadership, her passion, and the heart she pours into every patient and every day.

Happy Cardiac Rehab week!

Recovery doesn’t end when a patient leaves the hospital — and that’s where our Cardiac Rehab team steps in. They are the steady support system that helps patients rebuild strength, confidence, and hope after major heart events.

In cardiac rehab, patients come two to three times a week for several weeks, giving our team the rare privilege of building deep, meaningful relationships. They cheer on milestones, listen to fears, celebrate progress, and often become an extended part of the patient’s support network.

That closeness is what makes their work so special — and why one grateful patient designed and gifted the shirts our team is proudly wearing in our picture. A simple, heartfelt “thank you” for guiding them through one of the toughest chapters of their life.

From monitoring exercise and teaching heart healthy habits to offering encouragement on the hard days, this team plays a vital role in helping patients get back to living life fully.

💙 To our Cardiac Rehab team: thank you for the compassion you show, the trust you build, and the hearts you help heal — one visit at a time.

❤️ This Heart Month, we’re celebrating stories of courage, resilience, and second chances — like Thomas’s.

After years battling heart failure and receiving a lifesaving transplant, Thomas Groves II returned to the hospital not as a patient, but as a caregiver in our cardiac cath lab. His journey from survival to service is nothing short of remarkable.

We’re proud to celebrate a major milestone at TriStar Summit Medical Center. Dr. Jay Sulek, urologist, performed his 100th Aquablation procedure! Surgeons like Dr. Sulek and our surgical team are committed to always delivering exceptional, evidence-based care to our patients.

“Aquablation is the Swiss Army knife for urology patients,” said Dr. Sulek. “It gives us the ability to treat a wide variety of people extremely effectively. Right now, It’s essentially the best guarantee for the relief of symptoms for the longest period of time.”

This innovative, minimally invasive therapy for BPH (enlarged prostate) reflects our ongoing pursuit of clinical excellence and our dedication to bringing the most advanced treatment options close to home.

After 20 years in caregiving — including 14 spent in orthopedics — Jason felt it was time for something new. He was ready for a challenge, ready for a change, and ready to grow in a way he hadn’t before. That search led him to the TriStar Summit cath lab, and he hasn’t looked back since.

Every day in the cath lab brings something different, and Jason thrives on it. He loves the pace, the purpose, and the teamwork that makes lifesaving care possible. But what motivates him most is the immediate impact he gets to witness.

“Patients come to us still awake and in a lot of pain, and by the time they leave, they have no pain and are very thankful. That makes it so worth it.”

That instant relief — seeing fear turn to gratitude and discomfort give way to calm — is what fuels Jason’s passion. And alongside a team he deeply admires, he’s found not just a new specialty, but a renewed sense of purpose.

💙 Thank you, Jason, for your dedication, your heart for patients, and the energy you bring to the cath lab every day.

TriStar Summit had an incredible opportunity to do a lunch- and- learn with the residents of Del Webb Barton Village today. The group welcomed Dr. Getu Assefa and Dr. Muhammad Asad from Centennial Heart at TriStar Summit for an empowering heart health presentation and robust Q & A session.

Our physicians shared practical, easy to apply tips for protecting your heart health, including:

🫀 Calcium CT Scoring – a quick, painless test that helps determine your risk for heart disease. It’s only $45 and can offer life-saving insight.
🫀 Know Your Numbers – staying on top of your cholesterol, blood pressure, and other key markers.
🫀 Lowering Your Risk – through healthy eating, exercise, and staying connected with a supportive community.

One of the biggest reminders from today: Take advantage of prognostic tests like the Calcium CT score as you age. Early knowledge leads to better outcomes!

We are so grateful to communities like Del Webb Barton Village or partnering with us to spread awareness and education during Heart Month. ❤️

If you need support with anything cardiology related, our doctors would be honored to care for you.

❤️ Have you heard of ? It happens when the heart's electrical signals fall out of rhythm, which can lead to an irregular heartbeat and a range of symptoms. Some arrhythmias are harmless, while others may need more attention.

Arrhythmias can affect anyone. If your heartbeat feels a little "off" or you're noticing unusual symptoms, it's best to get it checked out. If you're experiencing chest pain, severe shortness of breath or fainting, seek emergency care right away.

If you'd like to get your symptoms checked and it's not something requiring emergency care, schedule an appointment with one of our cardiologists: https://bit.ly/4kAP6ik
