90 years. That’s a birthday most of us hope to see one day. 🎂

For Lucy Nelson, her 90th birthday is a joyful reminder of the power of our purpose as healthcare workers across TriStar Health. At 85 years old, Lucy wasn’t thinking about future milestones. She was in the critical care unit at TriStar Hendersonville Medical Center battling COVID.

What made a lasting impression? A connection with her nurse, Caleb McKenney. It’s a relationship that has continued in the years since. On Lucy’s 86th birthday, Caleb showed up to her party with a bag of clementines, her favorite snack in the hospital. Though he couldn’t attend her 90th birthday party, he sent a heartfelt video message that brought her to tears.

“Caleb’s care gave us more time. More birthdays, more holidays, more celebrations,” said Lucy’s daughter, Jill. “We wouldn’t have gotten all of that without him and TriStar Hendersonville.”

Did you know: lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer death?

We encourage you to prioritize your lung health and consider a lung cancer screening, particularly for those at high risk. Yearly screening, especially with low-dose CT scans, can help detect lung cancer early when it’s most treatable.

Screening is recommended if you:
- Are between 50-80 years old
- Currently smoke or are a former smoker

As part of the HCA Healthcare Sarah Cannon Cancer Network, we proudly offer low-dose CT scans, which offer less radiation than traditional CT scans and produce higher-quality images for physicians. Call (615) 342-LUNG to see if you are eligible or learn more: https://bit.ly/4mmiSH5

🧠⏱️ Every second counts when someone is suffering from a stroke. We're proud to provide rapid, lifesaving stroke treatment close to home through our stroke network, which includes five Advanced Primary Stroke Centers, one Advanced Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center and two Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Centers.

We're also proud to be part of our larger HCA Healthcare system of care, which collectively responds to strokes 45% faster than the national standard. We know door-to-needle (DTN) time is critical. Here, we explain what DTN time is and why it matters.

DTN time is the amount of time between an ischemic stroke patient's arrival at the hospital (“door”) and when they receive a clot-busting medication (“needle”) to help restore blood flow to the brain. The faster the medicine is given, the more brain cells can potentially be saved, helping to reduce the risk of long-term disability or stroke.

Know the signs of stroke. Act FAST. Call 911 immediately. To learn more about our expert, lifesaving stroke care, visit https://bit.ly/4opwhQu
