I don’t often share anything about work…
Seeing this post reminded me of how much I love my job, and how grateful I am that my patients make a choice to have me as their doctor! I truly feel that I have one of the best jobs in the world, and much of that is because of the relationship we have with our patients! Not to mention the incredible people I get to work with every day

Humbled by the support of HCA Healthcare for this initiative. Sometimes a problem like prescription drug misuse/abuse is so big that it’s impossible to feel like you can make a difference….this is the way to do that!

Be sure to watch Today In Nashville at 2:30 p.m. today. Dr. Jeffrey Hodrick from Southern Joint Replacement Institute will be talking about Crush the Crisis, a prescription drug take back program that he helped create in 2017. Today, the program is used across HCA Healthcare and will be set up at TriStar Health hospitals on Saturday, Oct. 25.

You can safely dispose of your unused or expired medications at TriStar Centennial Medical Center from 10am to 2pm on Oct. 25 at the Physician's Park roundabout, 2400 Patterson Street.
