Each year, our family of hospitals unite to support the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund — a lifeline for our colleagues facing unexpected hardship. Since its inception in 2005, the Hope Fund has supported more than 50,000 families, distributing over $121 million in assistance, all thanks to the generosity of fellow team members.

This week, we reflect on what caring like family really means through fundraising activities and sharing stories of hope like Yvonne Glass's. A music therapist at TriStar Centennial Medical Center, Yvonne turned to her TriStar family and the Hope Fund for help during two separate occasions: when her daughter was diagnosed with cancer and after a house fire. Watch to learn more about Yvonne’s story and how the Hope Fund made a difference.

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 love that our physicians do countless hours of volunteer work to help support those in underserved areas. Dr. J. Craig Morrison is one of those physicians.

Dr. Craig Morrison, an orthopedic surgeon, has volunteered at Siloam for nearly a decade.

When he saw the need for joint replacements, he rallied his network to offer surgeries to Siloam patients, restoring their mobility so they are empowered to flourish.

One of his early patients, a Colombian man and the breadwinner for his family, couldn’t work due to severe hip pain. After surgery, he regained his ability to work and provide for his family. “That’s the story in a lot of these families,” Dr. Morrison shares.

His message to other specialists? “If you’re thinking about volunteering, you should already be doing it.”

Thank you, Dr. Morrison for all you do!
