When Cindy Wyatt, one of TriStar Skyline's dedicated cardiac rehabilitation nurses, suffered a fall that resulted in a fractured hip, she suddenly found herself on the other side of healthcare.

After surgery, Cindy started rehabilitation at TriStar Skyline Medical Center, the very hospital where she works, and experienced their new mobility team firsthand.

The mobility team is a pilot program at TriStar Skyline that helps patients regain movement safely and sooner. Early mobility plays a vital role in recovery, improving strength, independence and overall outcomes.

Throughout her recovery journey, Cindy praised her care team. From rehabilitation to physical therapy, from food and nutrition services to housekeeping, Cindy said each person made a difference, and she's grateful for their skill, compassion and teamwork.

Today, Cindy continues her recovery at home — walking. Her independent movement is a testament to the exceptional care, innovation and dedication of the TriStar Skyline team. We wish Cindy a smooth recovery!

"It felt like the sky fell.”

At age 37, a stroke changed everything. But Dean’s tenacious spirit and TriStar Horizon Medical Center's consistent care changed the outcome of this story.

In September 2024, Dean, known to TriStar Horizon colleagues as Thor for his strength, was camping with his family at Montgomery Bell State Park. When Dean stepped into their camper to grab a bowl, everything changed.

“It felt like a massive weight settled on my head," Dean remembers. "I fell into the countertop, and I knew something was wrong.”

Dean was rushed to TriStar Horizon Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with a lateral medullary stroke — a rare and serious condition affecting the brainstem. Just two days after his stroke, Dean learned he might never walk again. While the news was difficult to process, he stayed focused on what mattered most: his wife and two daughters.

“They were my motivation,” Dean said. “I knew I had to keep pushing for them.”

Days after receiving the distressing news, Dean determinedly took his first unassisted steps without a walker or a cane. The powerful moment brought everyone to tears.

Through the uncertainty of recovery, Dean found encouragement and comfort in his care team. From the emergency room team to his physical therapist, he credits his decision to receive inpatient rehab at TriStar Horizon with saving his life.

Just 14 days after his stroke and after four nights in acute care and 10 days in inpatient rehab, Dean was discharged.

Now, at 38, Dean walks with a Thor cane: a symbol of his fortitude and resolve to beat the odds. He's soaking in every moment he can with his family as a full-time, engaged dad.

Dean’s goals are simple yet invaluable: stay active, remain present and advocate for stroke survivors. He plans to spend time as a stroke support group volunteer sharing his story, listening to others and ensuring no survivor feels alone on their journey.

Your family story holds clues that affect your risk for . Start a conversation with the women in your life – mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmas, cousins – to uncover any history of breast cancer. If you’re gathering with loved ones for Thanksgiving or the holiday season, it may be the perfect time for a chat.

Ask questions like:
➡ Who in our family has been diagnosed?
➡ At what age did they receive their diagnosis?
➡ Did they have other cancers that are linked to breast cancer, like ovarian, cervical or endometrial cancer?

Once you’ve gathered your family health history, it’s time to talk to a genetic counselor. They’ll help you:
✅ Understand how genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 influence risk 🧬
✅ Navigate the ins and outs of genetic testing
✅ Receive personalized screening and prevention recommendations

Early knowledge is power. When you combine family insights with expert guidance, you take control of your health journey. Learn more about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and guidelines for genetic testing: https://bit.ly/3LTUTSx

“As a therapist, there are times when a patient touches your heart in a way that reminds you why you chose this profession," said Aubrey, therapist at TriStar Summit.

When Kevin arrived at the outpatient rehabilitation facility two years ago, he was 16 years old and reeling from a severe gunshot wound that damaged the T10 vertebrae in his spine, leaving him without sensation or movement below his lower abdomen and legs.

Even with his world flipped upside down, Kevin was determined to heal and achieve personal milestones. Aubrey and the TriStar Summit Medical Center rehab team watched Kevin work tirelessly toward his goals. Over the course of two years, Kevin regained his strength, improved his range of motion, reduced his contractures, graduated high school, landed his first job and learned how to drive.

Kevin is grateful for the support of his caregivers, like his therapist, Aubrey, who encouraged and supported him every step of the way.

Today is and November is — a time to raise awareness and inspire action for the thousands of lives born prematurely in Middle Tennessee. In our state, approximately 11.3% of babies are born preterm, placing Tennessee above national averages and highlighting the importance of prenatal investment and early care.

Across TriStar Health, our network includes multiple Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Units, bringing care closer for communities like Dickson, Smyrna, Hendersonville and Hermitage. Our Level III NICU at TriStar Centennial Medical Center in downtown Nashville can care for babies born less than 32 weeks gestation. Neonatologists across the network work together to coordinate care and ensure every family has access to the high-quality care, compassion and expertise that each of these early beginnings need.

We invite our Middle Tennessee community to join us in , and we encourage you to learn more, share resources and reach out. Let’s grow awareness, reduce stigma and build stronger support for the tiniest among us, because every early arrival deserves extra support. 💜
